Recent wildfires across Colorado are a reminder that fast-moving wildfires can hit anywhere at any time. Wildfires are the No. 1 natural hazard in Douglas County, which means living in the peace and tranquility of our beautiful natural areas comes with the personal responsibility to mitigate for wildfires. Now is the time to protect your home, property, and neighborhood – we can help.
Following a successful launch in 2023, Douglas County is bringing back its Wildfire Mitigation Cost-Share program, which will provide a 50% financial match to homeowners up to $5,000 to help them provide defensible space, reduce hazards and increase community safety and resilience to wildfires.
The current application period is open from Aug. 12 to Sept. 2, 2024.
