Remember, Hazard Reduction Clearances are due by JUNE 15th Property owners that are found to be in violation as of June 16th are subsequently cited $250.00 for the violation. Property owners that have not had their properties cleared 30 days after receipt of the violation will receive an additional citation of $500.00. Any citation that is not paid in full will either be put on to the property owners tax bill, or the citation will be sent to a collection agency, who will then collect the payment. All proceeds from these citations are then put back into the Kern County Fire Plan and Hazard Reduction Fund to be used in further community education, fuels projects, community chipper days, or educational publications.
