WHEN IS DEFENSIBLE SPACE CLEARING REQUIRED?

Defensible space work is often required when:

• You receive a compliance or inspection notice from MOFD
• Vegetation has become overgrown within required clearance zones
• Trees or brush are too close to structures, roofs, or access roads
• Fire season inspections identify hazards that must be corrected
• You are preparing a property for sale or insurance requirements

Maintaining defensible space is not a one-time task—regular upkeep is essential to remain compliant year after year.
