Working Cottonwood
On the County Line, On Top of Both Codes
Cottonwood is a small community south of Anderson that crosses the Shasta and Tehama county boundary. Properties on the north side typically fall under Shasta County Environmental Health, while properties to the south are Tehama County's jurisdiction.
We work both sides of the line regularly. If you don't know which county your property is in, tell us your address and we'll figure it out before scheduling. Permit timelines and requirements are slightly different, but the field work is the same.
