LOS ANGELES – Property owners have THREE DAYS LEFT TO SUBMIT A RIGHT
OF ENTRY (ROE) FORM TO LA COUNTY. To have debris removed by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), property owners affected by the Los
Angeles Wildfires must submit a ROE form by APRIL 15, 2025. 

Federally funded debris removal is available to residents of single
family and owner-occupied multi-family units. 

All disaster impacted property owners should submit a ROE form by
April 15, to opt-in or opt-out of the debris removal program. 

If a property owner opts out
[https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/0195ab713483794292e94ff443e897b8]
of the USACE debris removal program, they become responsible for all
permits, inspections and other associated debris removal requirements
and costs. 

There is no out-of-pocket cost to have debris removed by USACE,
however the program is unable to duplicate other forms of funding
specific to debris removal. If a property owner has insurance for
debris removal, residual funds not used by the property owner may be
remitted to the county to offset the cost of debris removal at a later
date.
