the property tax collection process.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District notifies property owners within the Fire District of fire hazards
related to dry grass, weeds, combustible rubbish and other fire hazards identified on their property. The property

Fire District contractor to do the work. This contract will provide the Fire District with the means to abate hazards
through the work order process.
