Tax Relief for Wildfire Prevention and Property Protection
This new law introduces tax benefits for property owners who take steps to prevent wildfires. It includes both tax-exempt grants and services for reducing flammable materials, and the ability to deduct expenses related to such activities. The goal is to encourage citizens to actively participate in protecting their properties from fire hazards.
Key points
Property owners will not pay tax on grants or services received for wildfire prevention activities, such as creating firebreaks or removing hazardous vegetation.
Expenses incurred for fire risk reduction activities can be deducted from taxes, provided they are certified by a fire management agency.
The act aims to reduce wildfire risks and protect property through financial incentives for landowners.
