Weed Abatement complaints can be submitted one of two ways.  You may submit your complaint via the form below or you may also choose to submit your complaint in person at our Administrative Offices located at: 4050 Port Chicago Highway, Suite 250 in Concord, 94520.  Administrative office hours are Monday through Friday 8:oo a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Check to see availability on Holidays)

Please note:

Once the form is processed and reviewed by a fire inspector, an on-site inspection of the parcel will be conducted. All weed violations must be visible from the street.  Due to laws prohibiting illegal searches, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District and the Fire Prevention Bureau cannot climb fences, enter a residence or enter a property via the backyard to confirm weed complaints.  After an inspection, if a site is deemed to be a fire hazard, the fire prevention bureau will require the owner to take appropriate actions to mitigate the hazard.

Please be advised this is a legal process with certain timelines defined by the law.  Although dry brush, dead trees, etc. pose a potential fire hazard, property owners must still be granted time to get their property into compliance.  Additionally, there are some areas within our district that are designated as protected land and must be left in their natural state.

Due to the volume of complaints received, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District will only reach out to you if they need additional information or clarification on your complaint.

If you are unsure about the address or parcel you want to report for a fire hazard you can use the GIS MAP LINK to help. To find the county assessor’s parcel number (APN) for the property on which the hazard exists, please click on the following link, select “Locate Intersection”, and enter the two streets closest to the hazard. You may then navigate through the GIS map to find the property APN so that you can fill it in on the “Exterior Hazard Complaint” form. GIS MAP LINK
