You can lose your home without a single flame touching it.
Know Your Actual Risk
This calculator analyzes your specific property using satellite imagery, zone by zone, from your home out to 100 feet, and builds a cost estimate for Colorado wildfire mitigation work in Jefferson County, Grand County, Routt County, and nearby mountain communities. It takes about two minutes.
See how the estimate works →Zone 0, 1 & 2 Defensible Space
Costs broken down by zone — Zone 0 (0–5 ft), Zone 1 (5–30 ft), and Zone 2 (30–100 ft from your structure) — so you see exactly where the work and the money go.
Hazard Trees
Dead and beetle-kill trees near your structure are flagged from satellite imagery and factored into the estimate.
Colorado State Tax Credit
Colorado offers a state income tax credit of up to $2,500 per year on out-of-pocket mitigation costs paid to a licensed contractor (CRS 39-22-543). The estimate shows what you may be able to claim back.
Local Programs
County-level mitigation and cost-share programs that may apply in your area are included, so you don't leave local money on the table.
