Forms Must Be Submitted Today or Tomorrow
Impacted LA County residents have until tomorrow, Tuesday, April 15, 2025 to submit a Right of Entry form to opt-in to the government-run debris removal program or opt-out.
We understand the hardship the wildfires have caused and are committed to supporting you throughout the recovery process. But action is required now.
If your property was affected, you must choose a debris removal option by Tuesday, April 15, 2025. If you do not submit an Opt-In or Opt-Out form by April 15, 2025, the government will initiate a process to remove fire debris from your property to protect public health and safety. In such event, you will be responsible for the full cost of the government’s fire debris removal activities at your property.
Opt-In: Submit a Right of Entry form to allow the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to remove fire debris from your property at no direct cost to you.
Opt-Out: Hire a licensed contractor, apply for the necessary permit, and complete debris cleanup no later than June 30, 2025.
Regardless of your insurance status, you qualify for government-sponsored debris removal at no upfront cost. If you have insurance, you may still use it for debris not covered by the program. The County will only seek reimbursement after your home is rebuilt or after debris covered by insurance has been removed.
