Community Improvement: Tip of the Month
Code Enforcement Aug

*What is the Weed and Refuse Abatement Program?*

Did you know the City of Ontario has a Weed and Refuse Abatement Program? Owners of vacant lots are required to keep their properties clear of trash, debris and weeds. However, in Spring and Fall each year, the Community Improvement Department conducts systematic inspections of vacant lots to ensure they are maintained to City standards. Fall inspections begin on October 7, 2024.

If vacant properties are in violation of City standards, the property owner receives a Notice of Violation and an opportunity to correct the issue. If the property is not cleaned up within two weeks, additional penalties begin to accrue. In some cases, the City is required to clean the property and passes the cost along to the owner.

The Weed and Refuse Abatement program is important for several reasons. It reduces the likelihood of fires spreading through our City, making our neighborhoods safer. It also increases the appearance of neighborhoods, helping make the City a better place to live.

If you have questions about the Weed and Refuse Abatement Program, visit Ontarioca.gov/CommunityImprovement [ https://www.ontarioca.gov/CommunityImprovement ] or call (909) 395-2007.
