Wildfire Mitigation

Town of Lyons Match for Boulder County Wildfire Partners

Boulder County will continue their wildfire mitigation program which offers up to $500 to homeowners who complete eligible mitigation activities. New this year - the Town of Lyons will match up to an additional $500 per household for eligible mitigation activities until the matching funds are depleted. The Town of Lyons Wildfire Mitigation program will utilize the same eligible mitigation activities as Boulder County but will also require an Individual Home Assessment which is offered by Wildfire Partners. Boulder County does NOT require a home assessment to claim a rebate.

The first step for the Lyons Rebate is to get your individual home assessment.
Sign up at www.wildfirepartners.org today and begin your home assessment.
