Inquires should be sent to info@calpinescsd-fire.net

IMPORTANT: The security of property owner information is of paramount importance to our office. We use public information from Modoc County to assess which lots need to be mowed and billed. Because property owner information frequently changes, CalPinesCSD updates all accounts to current county records each year before lot mow bills are sent. The information from previous years is forwarded to collections.   

If a mailing address has changed, the property owner must notify Modoc County of the information change.

For your convenience, here is a link to the Modoc County Website where you can access a change of address form as well as a variety of other forms: Modoc County Assessor Forms

The California Pines Board of Directors passed an increase in the annual Lot Mow fee for each property at the January 2023 board meeting. The new fee for each property provided with Lot Mow Services is $89.00 per property in all units within the District's jurisdiction. 

The deadline for notifying the district of your intent to mow your lot is July 15th each year. If you or someone other than The District cleans/mows your property, please let us know before the July 15 deadline. The District will then inspect the area that has been mowed and ensure that charges are removed from your account.

If you prefer the District to mow your lot, send the payment to the address above. The district begins clearing lots after July 15 and ends in mid-August, depending on that year's weather, vegetation growth, and staffing.

All delinquent property owners have been forwarded to collections for unpaid balances from previous years. After your account is sent to collections, Payments must be made to the collection agency for the past-due totals. We only accept the current year's payments for the annual lot mow fees; the district releases responsibility for any past due lot mow balances to  Weber & Associates at the beginning of each calendar year. 

Please understand that this is our office's busiest season. We are not permitted to take pictures of any specific property to send to owners of any lots that we mow. We mow around 4,000 lots and can not take pictures of your property as proof. If you would like to visit your property to see if it was mowed, we welcome you.

If you have questions regarding your account, we will be more than happy to assist you. Still, we can not assist property OWNERS IN LOCATING REALTORS TO SELL PROPERTY, SEND PROPERTY OWNERS PICTURES OF THEIR PARCELS, OR help with any sale of a parcel. We do not keep a list of local contractors and building questions should be forwarded to the Modoc County Building Department.

After mowing what they can in the tractors, the employee's of Cal Pines CSD will begin to weed eat the rest using weed eaters.
