Tax Credit for Wildfire Home Protection Measures

This new law introduces a refundable tax credit for individuals who incur expenses to protect their homes from wildfires, especially in high-risk areas. It aims to help residents cover the costs of improvements that enhance the safety of their properties. This allows citizens to reduce the risk of fire damage and improve their home safety.

The credit applies to homes located in areas that have experienced wildfires in the last 10 years, received FEMA assistance for wildfires, or are designated as community disaster resilience zones.
