The Calaveras County Ranch Pass Program allows authorized property owners and ranchers to access their land during critical incidents such as wildfires, floods, earthquakes, and other emergencies—especially when caring for cattle, horses, and other livestock that depend on timely access for food, water, and safety.

The application and renewal process is quick and easy. This page provides a short PowerPoint with step-by-step instructions, followed by the Ranch Pass Application and a brief five-question renewal test.

Please ensure your email address and phone number are up to date and accurate when submitting your application or renewal. This helps prevent delays and ensures you receive your Ranch Pass without issue due to outdated contact information.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Lieutenant Jason Waite at (209) 754-6786.
