abandoned tires, dry grass, and other similar flammable materials. This letter serves as
notification for the required abatement.
What property is this for?
Property Legal Description:

address information is listed below:
Property Owner:
Assessor's Parcel Number:
Address:
What do I have to do and by when?
You have thirty (30) calendar days to remove said combustible materials.
What options do I have to abate my property?
Self-Abatement You complete the work yourself or you may
hire a licensed and insured contractor to
complete this work.
This may be the cheapest option.
Voluntary City Abatement You(owner/occupier) may grant the City
(and employees, agents, or contractors)
permission to enter your property to remove
and abate combustible materials.
The City will charge all costs of the
abatement to you and these costs must be
paid to the City. If you do not pay the costs
and charges,they will be recorded as a
nuisance abatement lien against your
property,placed on your property tax bill (as
a special assessment and lien), or pursued as a
civil debt owed to the City pursuant to
Temecula Municipal Code Section 3.04.080
(Temecula Municipal Code Section 8.16.080).
If you would like the City to abate your
property you must contact Code Enforcement
at 951-302-4144 to request abatement. If we
do not hear from you in thirty (30) calendar
days,the voluntary abatement option will
automatically be rejected.
Mandatory City Abatement If combustible materials are not removed, or
voluntary City abatement is not requested
within thirty (30) days from this Notice,the
City Fire Chief(or other designee) may order
abatement by public employees, private
contractors, or other persons.
All costs for abatement will be levied
against the property or billed directly to
the property owner. In addition,you may
be issued an administrative citation for
violating the Municipal Code.
This may be the most expensive option.
You may appeal this order, and the existence of any hazardous vegetation or other combustible
material, by presenting a written appeal to the Hazardous Reduction Office,
[address] within fifteen(15) calendar days of the date of this Notice to
Abate. The Hazard Reduction Officer shall set the appeal for hearing before the Appeals Board,

of the environment from wildfires and other environmental hazards. The Ordinance is further
exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines as it can be seen

effect on the environment as the Ordinance clarifies fire hazard prevention measures, abatement

this Ordinance, and each section or provision thereof, regardless of the fact that any one or more
section(s) or provision(s) may be declared invalid or unconstitutional or contravened via
legislation.

certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the same or a summary thereof

after passage.
