Serving NorCal
El Dorado Hills climbs from the Folsom Lake shoreline up into rolling oak woodland — and the hillside lots here come with both spectacular views and real fire risk. The parcels closest to Bass Lake Road and the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area boundary sit directly in CAL FIRE's enforcement zone for defensible space. We do consistent fuel-reduction and brush clearing work throughout El Dorado Hills, particularly in the older custom home areas above Silva Valley Parkway. El Dorado County building department at edcgov.us handles permits here, with a different review process than Sacramento or Placer counties.

Frequently asked questions
How much does defensible space clearing cost in El Dorado Hills?

El Dorado County building & safety at edcgov.us handles grading permits; CAL FIRE handles SRA defensible space compliance.
Who issues permits for demolition in El Dorado Hills?
El Dorado Hills is an unincorporated El Dorado County community. All demolition, building, and grading permits come from El Dorado County Building and Safety at edcgov.us. There is no City of El Dorado Hills permit office.
Can you work on steep hillside lots near Folsom Lake in El Dorado Hills?
Yes. Hillside lot work in El Dorado Hills is a significant part of our El Dorado County operations. We assess slope, equipment access, and any FEMA or riparian setbacks near the lake edge before quoting. Steep lots may require tracked equipment and careful debris management to avoid erosion during clearing.
