Oregon places new rules on homeowners living in certain high-risk wildfire areas
- Oregon homeowners in high-risk wildfire areas must follow new building codes and reduce vegetation around their homes under new wildfire hazard maps unveiled Tuesday.
- The new rules apply to 6% of Oregon's 1.9 million tax lots, affecting about 106,000 tax lots.
- The new provisions will not impact homeowners' insurance rates, as stated under Oregon law.
- A state law passed in 2023 prevents insurers from using wildfire hazard maps to cancel or decline to renew insurance policies or increase premiums.
