Vacant Lots

If you own a vacant lot in the Old Station area, the county's ordinance likely applies to your property. The rules are aimed at reducing the fuel load that can carry a wildfire through our community.

Requirements at a glance

• Keep grass and light vegetation cut to a low height throughout fire season.
• Remove dead vegetation, downed limbs, and accumulated pine needles.
• Maintain clearance around any structures, propane tanks, or utilities on the lot.
• Keep the parcel accessible so first responders can enter if needed.

Local vendors offering brush clearing, mowing, and hauling are listed on our Vendors page. The OSVFC board also sponsors free Green Waste Days from May through October — see the home page for dates.
