Inquiries should be sent to info@calpinescsd-fire.net
IMPORTANT: The security of property owner information is of paramount importance to our office. We utilize public information from Modoc County to determine which lots require mowing and subsequent billing. Because property owner information frequently changes, CalPinesCSD updates all accounts to reflect current county records each year before sending lot mow bills. The information from previous years is forwarded to collections.
If a mailing address CHANGES, the property owner must notify the Modoc County Assessor 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 district adopted Ordinance No. XIII to ensure the health and safety of the community. This Ordinance authorizes the District Board of Directors to require the removal of flammable materials from neglected property. Pursuant to Sections 13867 and 13968 of the California Health and Safety Code.
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 cost for each property provided with Lot Mow Services is $89.00 per property, applicable to all units within the District's jurisdiction.
The deadline for notifying the district of your intent to mow your lot is June 15th this year. If you or someone other than The District cleans or mows your property, please notify us before the June 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 your payment to the address below. Depending on the weather, vegetation growth, and staffing, the district begins clearing lots after July 15 and typically ends in mid-August.

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 payments for the current year's 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 note that this is our office's busiest time of year. We are not permitted to take pictures of any specific property to send to the owners of any lots that we mow. We mow around 4,000 lots and can not take pictures of your property as proof. We welcome you to visit your property if you would like to see it.
If you have questions regarding your account, we will be more than happy to assist you. Still, we cannot assist property owners in locating realtors to sell their property, send property owners pictures of their parcels, or help with any parcel sale. We do not maintain a list of local contractors, and building-related questions should be directed to the Modoc County Building Department.
