ALL Fireworks Illegal in El Dorado County
ALL fireworks are illegal in El Dorado County. All of them. Even the "Safe and Sane" fireworks available at locations in our neighboring Counties. Don't use them in El Dorado County. It is your responsibility to check with your local ordinance regarding the use of fireworks.
Excerpt from CAL FIRE news release: “In California, we have zero tolerance for the use and sale of illegal fireworks. Any person who causes a fire can be held liable for the costs of its suppression and associated property damage. Often these costs are in the hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of dollars. There are also legal ramifications, when it comes to certain types of fireworks. Possession or transportation of illegal fireworks such as sky rockets, bottle rockets, roman candles, aerial shells, firecrackers and other types that explode, go into the air, or move on the ground in an uncontrollable manner can lead to a possible fine of up to $50,000 as, well as prison time or jail for up to one year. Even "Safe and Sane" Fireworks taken into a city or county where they are banned are considered illegal. All fireworks are banned in Alpine and El Dorado Counties.”

Red Hawk Casino Entertainment Center
The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians (“Tribe”) has prepared a Draft Tribal Environmental Impact Report (“TEIR”) to assess the potential off-reservation impacts of the Tribe’s proposed expansion of the Red Hawk Casino to add an entertainment center. It is now released for a 45-day public review.
The proposed 75,000-square-foot entertainment center would be developed above the northern half of the existing parking garage. The entertainment center would incorporate additional entertainment and dining options such as a bowling alley, virtual reality gaming suites, indoor go-karting, bar, and meeting rooms. In addition to the entertainment center, this TEIR addresses the expansion of the existing parking garage. The southern half of the existing eight-level parking garage would be expanded with an additional three levels. The additional three levels would expand the number of parking spaces from 3,040 to 3,600.
The TEIR was developed in accordance with the requirements of the Tribal-State Compact (“Compact”) between the Tribe and the State of California. The TEIR process is outlined in the Tribe’s August 3, 2020 Compact with the State. The County is not a party to the Compact and the Compact is available at: http://www.cgcc.ca.gov/?pageID=compacts
The Draft TEIR for the entertainment center is available on the Tribe’s website: https://www.shinglespringsrancheria.com/.

Vacation Home Rental (VHR) Code Enforcement Information & Resources Website
El Dorado County regulates, permits, and enforces vacation home rentals within its jurisdiction of the Tahoe Basin and West Slope, excluding the incorporated cities. VHRs operating within the city limits of the City of South Lake Tahoe are permitted and enforced by the South Lake Tahoe Police Department. VHRs operating within the city limits of Placerville are permitted and enforced by the City of Placerville.
Within unincorporated El Dorado County, Code Enforcement administers the VHR enforcement program while staff from Planning Services administers the VHR permitting program.
The microsite links together the various aspects of the VHR program, including VHR permitting, Building permits, Fire Department inspections, and Code Enforcement activities. The new site will complement and supplement the existing VHR Permitting website and provides a seamless transition between Code Enforcement and Permitting activities.
Residents and visitors will now be able to go to one place on the County's web site and find information and resources including links to all VHR partner agencies and departments, FAQs, the Code Enforcement progressive enforcement approach, how to lodge a complaint, a permit tracking tool, contact information, penalties, and a sign-up page for a new VHR enforcement newsletter.
