Vallejo, in short
When does the City of Vallejo inspect for weeds and brush?
Chapter 7.56 of the City Code has the fire chief inspect real property and streets throughout the city by February 15 each year and notify owners in writing by March 1. The notice gives sixty days to abate, and if the work is not done by May 1 the City does it and bills the owner.
The story of Vallejo
Vallejo, named after General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, according to the museum, and home to the Mare Island Naval Shipyard, according to the City.
According to the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum, the city carries the name of General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo. The General Plan says the Downtown/Waterfront grew across the strait from the Naval Shipyard, and that a now thriving population of artists and entrepreneurs in and around downtown and Mare Island has followed the shipyard’s closing.
The City’s history page says Vallejo served as home to several Native American tribes including the Coastal Miwoks, the Suisunes and other Patwin tribes.
The Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum says no attempts were made to improve the site until it was deeded as part of Rancho Soscol to General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo in 1844. A statewide referendum was held in late 1850, and General Vallejo’s proposal was accepted, with one change: the city would be called Vallejo, after him.
The City’s history page says that, legend has it, Mare Island got its name after General Vallejo drove a herd of horses across the Carquinez Strait, and that Mare Island Naval Shipyard was established in 1854.
The City’s walking-tour brochure says St. Vincent Ferrer Parish was started in 1855 and that construction of the existing Gothic Revival church began in 1867.
The City’s Mare Island brochure says Commodore James Alden began landscaping Mare Island in 1868 with trees and other vegetation brought by Navy ships from around the world, and that Alden Park is named for him.
The same brochure says construction of Drydock #1 began in 1872 and it went into service in 1891, and that it was dug by hand.
The brochure says the mansions along Mare Island’s Officers’ Row were built after the earthquake of 1898 badly damaged the original brick officers’ quarters.
The museum says the well-paid workforce of Mare Island needed homes, stores and the other amenities of life, and Vallejo quickly grew to meet them. It says many of the city’s older neighborhoods grew up in that time and gained much of the appearance they have today, and lists the Empress Theater (1911), the Masonic Temple (1917) and the Vallejo YMCA (1919) among the large buildings of the period.
The Empress Theatre opened on February 14, 1912, according to the Vallejo Center for the Arts, the nonprofit that reopened it in 2007.
The City’s walking-tour brochure says Vallejo’s second city hall, on Marin Street, was built in 1927 in a Spanish Renaissance Revival style, and that after a new city hall was built in 1975 it became the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum.
The General Plan says direct ferry service between Vallejo and San Francisco resumed in 1986.
The General Plan says the closure of the Mare Island Shipyard in 1996 brought the need to reorient the local economy, and that the attraction and support of a now thriving population of artists and entrepreneurs in and around downtown and Mare Island has signaled an upsurgence in the economic and cultural identity of the city.
Fire safety
Your fire department
The Fire Prevention section of the Vallejo Fire Department does fire and life safety inspections, plan review, permitting, fire investigations and weed abatement, and its office is on Mare Island.

The fire hazard severity maps
Chapter 7.57 of the City Code, adopted on July 8, 2025, adopts by reference the State’s updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps for local responsibility areas, as CAL FIRE issued them on February 24, 2025. The maps are kept on file with the city clerk and on the City’s website. The City’s map page links its map (a PDF), an interactive map and the State’s viewer, and says the Fire Department “is not adding any areas to the maps”.

Mid-1800s on

History and character
The City’s history page says Vallejo served as home to several Native American tribes including the Coastal Miwoks, the Suisunes and other Patwin tribes.

The Empress Theatre opened on February 14, 1912, according to the Vallejo Center for the Arts, the nonprofit that reopened it in 2007.
The City’s walking-tour brochure says Vallejo’s second city hall, on Marin Street, was built in 1927 in a Spanish Renaissance Revival style, and that after a new city hall was built in 1975 it became the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum.
The General Plan says direct ferry service between Vallejo and San Francisco resumed in 1986.

Vallejo, roof and gutters
The City’s General Plan says the built-up city is ringed by natural open space, wetlands and rolling grassland hills, and that a major portion of Vallejo’s western boundary consists of “low-lying mud flats and marshlands adjacent to the Napa River”. It names valley oak woodland and riparian forest and woodland among the natural communities in the open spaces in and around the city.
Yearly rain averages 20.86 inches, the mean of the two nearest federal weather stations with 1991-2020 normals, Vallejo (21.49 inches) and Napa County Airport (20.23 inches), by our own calculation. The Vallejo station’s normal rests on five years of record.
The General Plan says that although much of the historic floodplain has been filled or diked, “some areas are still subject to seasonal flooding”. It says the White Slough levees were breached in the 1960s and again in the 1970s when the Napa River flooded, and that heavy rains and high tides have also caused historic flooding around Lake Dalwigk and in the floodplain around Nebraska and Sutter-Napa Streets.
The Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District says its stormwater fees support “over 250 miles of storm drain pipes, along with more than 10,000 catch basins and other structures”. The District’s annex to the county hazard plan says its 2020 Storm Drain Management Plan identifies 40+ problematic localized flooding areas, and that localized flooding continues in the Sandpiper, Lemon Street – Solano Avenue, Austin Creek and Lake Chabot watersheds.
The City’s approved tree list, a planting list revised April 10, 2014, holds 77 entries; maples are the biggest group with 24, followed by oaks with 10. The City’s hazard-plan annex says “High winds can blow trees over presenting hazards for buildings, roads, and pedestrians/cars.”
We have been working on Bay Area roofs and gutters since 2002. If yours hasn’t had a look in a while, we’d be glad to come by.

Vallejo questions
What Vallejo homeowners ask us
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Vallejo?
Yes. A re-roof needs a permit in Vallejo, and the work has to meet all requirements. If you wish, we can also pull the permit for you, as most of our customers ask us to. For the fees, see the City’s fee schedule: the City’s page said its building permit fees were expected to increase on September 14, 2026.
How far from my house must I clear brush in Vallejo?
Grass must be trimmed. The City’s weed abatement page says defensible space must be 30 to 100 feet wide around all structures, depending on grade and other factors. Under the City Code the duty is the owner’s or occupant’s.
Where do I get free sandbags in Vallejo?
From October 15 to April 15 the Vallejo Flood & Wastewater District supplies free sand and burlap bags to residents in the greater Vallejo area. Its self-serve station is at the west end of Ryder Street, just past the District’s main office at 450 Ryder, and is open 24 hours, 7 days a week.
Am I responsible for the trees on my property?
The City’s Tree Services page says “Per the Tree Ordinance, in most cases residents are responsible for the maintenance of trees located on their property.”
