Here is an update to the California State Responsibility Area fire prevention fee I noted in a previous post (see New Fee for Wildland Property Owners). The Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention just issued the official regulations regarding this new fee.
To recap: the state legislature and Governor Brown have approved collecting an annual "fire prevention fee" from owners of property in California wildland areas designated as State Responsibility Areas (SRA). The collected monies will go to creating an SRA Fire Prevention Fund that will fund fire prevention activities benefiting the property owners in the SRA.
On August 22, the official regulations covering how the fee will be assessed and collected were published. Click here to read them.
