Program details

How it works

Salt Lake City says it encourages residents to participate in wildfire mitigation by allowing property owners to cut grass around the boundaries of their properties that abut city-owned parks and natural spaces. The same page says Public Lands promotes the SLC Fire Free Home Risk Assessment and uses that program to assess fire risks in open space properties. (slc.gov)

What the program covers

The page is focused on vegetation management and wildfire-risk reduction near city open spaces. It also references broader mitigation work including native plant restoration, noxious weed control, and public education. (slc.gov)

Money or services

This is a free permission / mitigation service rather than a cash payment. The page does not state a grant, rebate, or loan amount. (slc.gov)
