NOTE:

• If there are additional required actions to be completed after an inspection, you will not receive a designation certificate, and the process will take 60+ days. After 90 days of inactivity, applications will move to not designated.
• One of the most stringent required actions includes creating a 5-foot noncombustible buffer surrounding your home and decks. ALL vegetation, trees including overhanging branches, grass/turf, wood/rubber mulch, wood/vinyl fencing, and any stored items within 5 feet of your home must have been removed.
