When we choose to have a home in the Tahoe Basin, we choose to live in a high-risk fire zone. Because of this, it is crucial that homeowners take steps to keep your home, your neighborhood, your forests, and your lake healthy and safe. To encourage you to create defensible space around your home, we are offering a rebate for half of your cost up to $1000. But don’t delay, the money will not be available for too much longer.
