Deadline to cut weeds in Atascadero is June 1 

Clearing weeds is a priority in preparation for fire season

– Atascadero Fire & Emergency Services reminds city residents that clearing weeds by June 1 is mandatory. If weeds are not cleared by June 1, 2022, a city contractor will be authorized to clear the hazardous weeds and/or refuse on uncleared parcels. If the city contractor clears the weeds, the city recovers costs for administering this program through the recovery of the cost of abatement, plus a flat fee of $260 plus a percentage charge of a 166-percent administrative fee, which is placed on the San Luis Obispo County Special Tax Assessment for the fiscal year 2022-2023 Tax Roll.

All property owners having any objections to the proposed removal of the hazard are hereby notified to attend a meeting of the Atascadero City Council of the City of Atascadero to be held on May 10, 2022, at 6 p.m. when their objections will be heard and given due consideration

Residents of Atascadero are encouraged to take care of hazardous weeds as soon as possible. Atascadero Fire & Emergency Service’s mission, through its hazard reduction program, is to eliminate vegetative growth and/or refuse which may cause a fire or life and safety hazard.
