Defensible Space Inspections

Inspectors from Sonoma County and local Fire Districts inspect properties for compliance. Defensible space includes a "lean, clean, and green" zone 30 feet (or to the property line) from buildings, and a "reduced fuels zone," which can have more natural vegetation, from 30 feet to 100 feet (or to the property line) from structures.
