SEASONAL CURBSIDE CHIPPING

Curbside Chipping opens May 1st, 2024
 Residents must submit a request to schedule the grant-funded residential curbside chipping service for a residential property. Once the request is received, the address will be added to the scheduled route to provide the chipping service in area-specific zones. Demand for this program has increased substantially, and the schedule is set by zone to provide the most efficient service possible.

TREE REMOVAL
PERMIT INSPECTIONS

Removal Permit is offered for defensible space purposes only. TRPA allows the removal of trees up to 14 inches in diameter without a permit (or 6 inches for Lakefront Properties). Permits are not issued for other reasons such as disease, structural hazards, or view enhancement. If a tree must be removed for one of these other reasons, visit TRPA.

BUSINESS LICENSE INSPECTIONS

A Fire & Life Safety Inspection is required for all business license applications, business license renewals, and a lapse in the business license.

• If you have any questions regarding the status of your application or are no longer in business, please contact the Business License Officer for the Placer County Treasurer-Tax Collector, at 530-889-4120

GRANT-FUNDED
DEFENSIBLE SPACE INSPECTIONS

Grant-funded inspections help residents create defensible space around their property. The District provides homeowners with a report of the findings with educational materials that will help them comply with defensible space. If compliance is not met on the first inspection it is highly advised to schedule a second inspection to ensure compliance is verified in our database. These inspections can also be used to maintain homeowner insurance. Similar to educational defensible space inspections, homeowners can get a free inspection for guidance on what is needed, and another to verify compliance. If the property does not meet defensible space compliance at the second inspection, a $182 fee will be charged for additional insurance-related inspections.
