LOS ANGELES – Today is the last day for property owners to submit a Right of Entry (ROE) form to LA County. In order 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 11:59 p.m. PT today, April 15

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, 2025, to opt-in or opt-out of the debris removal program. 

If a property owner opts-out 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.
