Firewise Improvements Grant Cycle 2023 – Oregon

Dated: September 18, 2023

The Firewise Grant Incentive Program, administered by the Lane County Land Management Division’s Long Range Planning and Building programs, offers homeowners in rural Lane County financial assistance to make their homes better able to survive wildfires.

Donor Name: Lane County

State: Oregon

County: Lane County (OR)

Type of Grant: Grant

Deadline: 09/29/2023

Size of the Grant: up to $15,500

Details:

Financial grants are available to rural Lane County residents who are interested in making landscaping and structural improvements to their properties, which can increase the survivability of their home in the event of a wildfire. Residents may qualify for up to $15,500 in financial assistance to carry out the following improvements:

  • Replacement of wood shake roofs with noncombustible roof materials
  • Installation of fire-resistant windows, doors and siding
  • Thinning and pruning of vegetation to create a “defensible space” around homes
  • Planting of low fire risk plants within the defensible space
  • Installation of an irrigation system & a water catchment/storage tank
  • Screening of vents and other opening to prevent the entry of firebrands
  • Installation of spark arrestors on chimneys.

Eligibility Requirements

  • Eligible properties will be located in rural Lane County (outside of the Urban Growth Boundary of any city within the county). Grant funding may only be applied to the primary residence on the subject property.
  • No person, entity, or affiliation shall be eligible for Firewise financial incentives for more than two (2) residences annually, per Lane Manual 4.040.305E.
  • Properties must be susceptible to wildfire (as part of the application review process, staff will conduct a site visit to the property to determine its  potential vulnerability to wildfire).
  • All incentive projects reimbursable by the County must be completed by a professional licensed contractor or landscaper, except for the Fire Resistant Plants & Landscape Materials, Spark Arrestor, and the Vent Protection incentives. It is the responsibility of the landowner to hire and coordinate the work of the contractor or landscaper and to ensure that all work is satisfactorily completed within an agreed upon time period (6 months from the date that a grant agreement has been formalized).
  • In order to qualify for funding for structural improvements, the land owners must also agree to create and maintain a “defensible space”.  A defensible space is defined as an area either natural or man-made, where material capable of allowing a fire to spread unchecked has been treated, cleared or modified to slow the rate and intensity of an advancing wildfire and to create an area for fire suppression operations to occur.
