What the county requires for vacant commercial property
Vacant commercial property is the highest-risk asset class we patrol in Colfax 95713. Insurance carriers in Placer County routinely tighten or cancel coverage on properties that sit vacant longer than 60-90 days without a documented security plan, and many municipalities — Citrus Heights' 2026-001 vacancy ordinance being the clearest example in the metro — now mandate monitored security on registered vacant commercial parcels. A Stormhammer vacant watch in 95713 typically runs four to six randomized tours per night with fence-line checks, photo verification at four anchor points (front entry, rear loading dock, electrical service, perimeter fence), trespasser removal, and same-night incident reporting. We coordinate tows on private property when authorized, post no-trespass signage to make any future law-enforcement response cleaner, and maintain a chain-of-custody log that satisfies most Placer County carrier and code-enforcement requirements. Rate for a standard vacant commercial parcel in Colfax starts around $450/month for mobile patrol; fully manned fire-watch coverage during an offline sprinkler period runs $34-$45/hr depending on shift. We provide a free property walk for any owner or property manager with an active vacancy in 95713 — call dispatch and we'll have an officer on-site within 48 hours to scope the plan.

What a typical enrollment looks like for a Colfax property

Month 1 — first board packet with aggregated patrol logs, incident summary, and any photo evidence.
