Roadside Vegetation Control

The County of Mariposa, Public Works Department, maintains approximately 600 miles of public roads and Zone of Benefit Roads, including actively managing vegetation control utilizing chemical means.

On occasion, requests are received from local property owners to establish a "no-spray" zone on road frontage bordering their property. Property owners interested in filing an opt-out/no spray agreement, must complete and submit a Roadside Vegetation Control Agreement to the Public Works Department in order to be considered for the opt-out option.
