Regarding Weeds and Fire Abatement, below is the link to the County maps. These do not currently include the Big Bear FD inspections but may again in the future once the FDs are combined again. The Spring 2026 Map does include UTH Complaints made by other owners, etc. (one in Fawnskin, few in Arrowhead, etc). The Mountain 2026 Inspections and Map are expected to be launched soon. Note that it appears the data has been erased from the Mountain 2025 map.

You can also use the below link to check if you have received a notice, the requirements, process, etc. for the COUNTY.
