Pick the notice — 3-day pay or quit, 3-day fix or quit, 30-day or 60-day — and the day you got it, and it works out your real deadline. Weekends and court holidays don't count toward a 3-day notice. Free legal help in North County is listed beneath.

The checker is now headed "Check your notice against California's cap" and cites Civil Code §1947.12, the Tenant Protection Act, directly beneath it — nothing about the cap itself changed.

Tap the area you're in to say a street is under water right now — for the streets Buena Vista Creek and hillside runoff flood first, downtown and in Breeze Hill, Alta Vista and Shadowridge.

Whether a city holiday pushes your EDCO trash, recycling and green waste day back this week — the exact rule, and every 2026-27 date it applies to.

A map and list of Vista's working craft breweries, grouped into the two pockets they actually cluster in: a couple of taprooms an easy walk from Vista Village, and a working cluster out in the business park worth a dedicated stop. This replaces the brewery-trail page that went up broken last month and had to come down — the earlier attempt tried to register a tool kind before any code for it existed. Eleven breweries are on it, each checked against its own site this week; two others that used to be part of Vista's brewery scene, Iron Fist and Latitude 33, have since closed and aren't included. Hours change often, so each entry links out rather than guessing at them.

California's Tenant Protection Act caps most annual rent increases at 5% plus the local cost-of-living change, up to 10%. For San Diego County that is 8.2% for increases taking effect between 1 August 2026 and 31 July 2027. The page shows the arithmetic, checks a proposed increase and its notice period against the law, and walks the exemptions — because whether the cap applies to your home decides the answer before any sum does. Vista has no rent-control ordinance of its own, so the state law is what applies here. It is not legal advice, and it links the Attorney General's own figures and the legal aid clinic that sits at the Vista courthouse.

Type an address to see the fire hazard zone CAL FIRE maps it in, then exactly what has to be cleared and how far out from the house. It also lays out the inspection year — notices in March, inspections from 18 May — and what force abatement costs: $940 per parcel, plus $423 if a warrant is needed, charged to the owner.

The page went live before it was actually finished, so visitors saw an error message instead of the breweries. It's down until it can be rebuilt properly — a map of Vista's breweries along Hop Highway 78 is still very much on the list.

The town page now opens with a colored-pencil drawing of the Moonlight Amphitheatre at dusk — its terraced lawn and open-air stage below the dry inland hills.

Live National Weather Service warnings for Vista — Red Flag, heat and storms — plus the SDG&E power-shutoff (PSPS) and county evacuation channels, for a town where nearly half of buildings sit in high wildfire-risk areas.

The recurring arts and events that come around each year — the Moonlight Amphitheatre season, the Strawberry Festival, the Saturday farmers market and the December tree lighting — in one place, in the order they arrive, with a link to each organizer for exact dates and tickets.

Vista now has a town page, starting with the year in local arts and events in one place, and live fire-weather, heat and power-shutoff warnings for the town.
