BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. — A new program allows eligible Boulder County residents to apply for a rebate of up to $500 for completing certain wildfire mitigation techniques. Jennifer Bright moved to unincorporated Boulder County in 2015. The home was everything she ever wanted — it's got views of the mountains but is close enough for her to get to Boulder quickly.
“It's such a blessing and a help. Because, you know, everything is more expensive these days," said Bright.In order to receive the rebate, residents must complete one or more of four different kinds of wildfire mitigation: The company frequently discusses how the mitigation tactics can be seen as a trade-off of sorts for homeowners.
“A lot of people don't know that the State of Colorado actually makes wildfire risk mitigation services 50% tax deductible, up to $2,500. So if you spend $5,000 on the services, you can basically take $2,500 off your taxes," Austin explained.
