Tahoe City sits at the outlet of the Truckee River on the northwest shore in Placer County, with neighborhoods tucked into forested hillsides around town and along the West Shore.
Local factors in Tahoe City
- West Shore snow. The northwest side of the lake tends to get heavy snow, so snow-rated gutters and snow retention deserve attention.
- Older cabins. Many cabins have shallow roofs and limited attic insulation, both ice dam risk factors.
- TRPA BMPs. TRPA (the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency) requires developed properties in the Lake Tahoe Basin to install and maintain stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) sized to infiltrate a 20-year, one-hour storm, roughly one inch of rain. Roof runoff can sheet off the eave onto an armored dripline, or be collected by gutters, but either way the water has to land somewhere that protects the soil and soaks it in. Gutters concentrate water, so every downspout needs a splash block, rock armor or an infiltration feature beneath it. If you’re adding or changing gutters, ask your contractor how the downspouts will tie into your existing BMPs, and check your parcel’s BMP status on the Lake Tahoe Parcel Tracker.
