The Novato Fire District will provide a free vegetation fire safety inspection in the area of your concern. All complaints regarding weed abatement should be completed using this form. Once the form is processed and reviewed by a Wildfire Mitigation Specialist, they will contact you to schedule a home assessment of your property and discuss the weed abatement concern.

All weed violations must be visible from the street. Due to laws prohibiting illegal searches, the Novato Fire District and Fire Prevention Division will not be able to climb fences 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 division will require the owner to take appropriate actions to mitigate the hazard.
