Deadline day: Today is the last day to register up for Los Angeles fire debris removal
What you need to know: The passage of Proposition 1 by California voters adds rocket fuel to Governor Gavin Newsom's transformational overhaul of the state's behavioral health system. These reforms refocus existing funds to prioritize Californians with the most serious mental health and substance use issues, who are too often experiencing homelessness. They also fund more than 11,150 new behavioral health beds and supportive housing units and 26,700 outpatient treatment slots.
LOS ANGELES – Today, April 15 is the deadline 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).
Complete the ROE form
"This recovery is moving quickly and it is critical that all fire survivors sign up for this important program."
Governor Gavin Newsom
Nearly 500 crews of expert heavy equipment operators are working around the clock to rapidly clear ash, soot, and fire debris from structures damaged by the Eaton and Palisades fires. More than 2,200 parcels have already been completed and signed off by the county and hundreds more have been cleared of debris and are now just awaiting erosion controls, tree removal, and final inspection.
Debris Removal at a glance
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 today, 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.
Commercial and multi-family buildings now included
Last week, at Governor Newsom's request, the Federal Emergency Management Agency agreed to expand the scope of cleanup to a number of facility types that were not previously eligible for debris removal, including owner occupied condominiums, multi-family units, and certain commercial properties.

Under Governor Newsom's leadership, California has expedited the cleanup process by cutting red tape and eliminating bureaucratic barriers, allowing highly trained crews to enter impacted communities sooner and help survivors rebuild their lives faster.
Debris removal from private commercial property is typically the responsibility of property owners and is usually not eligible for federal programs.
Commercial properties – including multi-family rental properties – will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The criteria for these properties being included in the USACE debris removal program is based upon:
Debris removal and insurance
Residents have the option to opt-in to the government-sponsored debris removal program at no direct cost or manage the cleanup independently by opting out by the end of the day. Whether you are insured, uninsured, or underinsured, the program comes at no direct cost to eligible homeowners.
