Wildfire Resources
Wildfires are an important issue in our communities. The effects of the devastating Camp fire have put this issue into sharp focus at the local, county and state level. Regulations and laws are changing quickly, and new resources are emerging to help homeowners protect their property and communities from wildfires.
Marin REALTORS® is committed to helping our members and Marin County communities stay informed on information around this important issue. Bookmark this page as a resource for use by REALTORS® and your clients to stay current on wildfire-related issues and updates. This page includes links to local regulations, announcements about meetings, hearings, policy changes and more.
Do you work for local governments or the insurance industry?
We want to hear from you about changes, hearings, new procedures and all things wildfire related. Please email our CEO, Romeo Arrieta, with any relevant information and input.
