Goats are Coming to Citrus Heights
Goats are arriving in Citrus Heights later this month! This grazing program will help with fire mitigation and weed abatement. By using goats, we avoid heavy equipment, chemicals and herbicides.
You can find these working goats grazing various open spaces in our city, starting with Twin Oaks/Moss Oak.
While we still await their arrival date, you can keep an eye on our social media for when they get to Citrus Heights and when they move to their next location!

May is Building Safety Month – “Game On!”
Citrus Heights is proud to join the International Code Council in celebrating Building Safety Month this May with the 2025 theme: Game On!. Each week highlights a different aspect of safety—from everyday awareness to disaster preparedness to careers in safety.
Building Safety Month is a reminder of the importance of modern building codes and the professionals who enforce them to keep our homes, schools, and businesses safe.
Residents can take simple steps to stay safe at home, like installing working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, practicing fire escape plans, and keeping grills and pools secure.
For questions or guidance on building safety, contact the Citrus Heights Building & Safety Division at (916) 727-4760 or Building@CitrusHeights.net.

Help Keep Citrus Heights Clean – Neighborhood Clean-Up Reminder
We appreciate your continued participation in Citrus Heights’ popular Neighborhood Clean-Up (NCU) program! As a reminder, starting this year, the City is enforcing the existing 48-hour set-out rule to help reduce neighborhood blight and discourage illegal dumping. While residents used to set items out as soon as the program door-hanger arrived, materials must now be placed at the curb no more than two days before your scheduled pickup.
From January through April, we shared friendly reminders to help ease into the change—but starting this month, early set-outs may result in an “Improper Large Item Set Out” fee on your Republic Services bill.
Need help meeting the timeline? We’re here for you! Call Republic Services at (916) 638-9000 or Citrus Heights General Services at (916) 727-4770—we’ll do our best to assist. Thank you for doing your part to beautify Citrus Heights!
