Douglas County opened a second 2026 wildfire mitigation funding round with applications scheduled July 27 through Aug. 27. Its July 23 notice offered a 50% match, capped at $25,000 for homeowner projects.
Community projects could qualify for up to $50,000, while community chipping or slash pickup had a $7,500 cap. Applications needed a work plan, a site map and two estimates from approved contractors. The county encouraged neighboring property owners to coordinate their applications.
The county reported investing $587,644 in an earlier round covering more than 72 properties. Those earlier awards are separate from the summer application opportunity. The August deadline has passed, so this archive account should not be read as an invitation to submit to that round today.
