Summit REALTORS® Offer Wildfire Mitigation Grants
Homeowners in Summit County can apply for money relating to wildfire mitigation expenses on their property. Summit REALTORS® and the Colorado Association of REALTORS® are offering to help homeowners cover the costs of tree and shrub removal in order to meet defensible space guidelines as defined by local fire districts. Grantees could have the work done this fall or wait until spring. The grant program’s goals are two-fold: to educate property owners about how their home’s defensible space affects their property insurance rates and to assist homeowners with the expenses of wildfire mitigation projects on their property. CAR’s Colorado Project Wildfire also offers REALTORS® tools and resources for consumers to protect their homes at https://coloradorealtors.com/projectwildfire/
