Following a devastating wildfire season last year, Oregon has introduced new building codes and vegetation management requirements for homeowners residing in high-risk wildfire areas identified by the state's newly released 'wildfire hazard maps.'
The maps, developed by Oregon State University scientists and the Oregon Department of Forestry, aim to mitigate the increasing threat of wildfires in the state. These regulations will impact approximately 106,000 tax lots, representing 6% of Oregon's total tax lots.
