**On January 31, 2023, the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (BOF) approved comprehensive updates to the State's Minimum Fire Safe Regulations (MFSR). These newly approved regulations supersede Mono County’s regulations and noteworthy changes include 30' setback requirements for all parcels regardless of land use designation and parcel size (unless certain criteria can be met for deviation in Article 5 of those regulations). Emergency water standards required by the Mono County General Plan for Long Valley and Wheeler Crest Fire Protection Districts still remain in effect. Please use the online California Code of Regulations to refer to the most current version of the MFSR [1].
