But for those who didn't they were given 20 days clean things up, or a city contractor did the work for them. Owners got billed for the cost plus a 20 percent administrative fee.
Clovis firefighters say tall, dry grass and weeds are dangerous this time of year.
Tanya Geren, Clovis City Fire: "People don't realize how quickly fire spreads and just a few dry weeds can spread a fire to a fence to another tree."
Those who did not comply with the abatement request, have until August 15 to pay the city for clean-up costs. If they don't pay the charges will be added to their property taxes.
