Program details
How it works
Truckee Fire offers financial assistance for removal of dead trees on owner-occupied primary residential properties. This is a reimbursement program, not an upfront payment. The district says reimbursement is 50% of the total removal cost, up to a maximum rebate of $2,000.
What it covers
The program helps pay for dead-tree removal, a wildfire-risk reduction activity that also improves defensible space around the home.
How to qualify the project
The district requires a full-access defensible-space inspection from the past 12 months that specifically identifies the dead tree or trees. Once the trees have been removed, the homeowner submits the application.
How to apply
The page says to read the Dead Tree Fund Program Guidelines first, then submit the application after the removal is complete. It also links to defensible space service providers and a printable application.
Timing and deadlines
No fixed opening or closing date is listed. The page indicates the application is submitted after the trees are removed and after the inspection requirement has been met.
