Right of Entry Forms Now Available
Form is available online or in-person at Disaster Recovery Centers
Los Angeles County announced today the launch of the Right of Entry form for the free debris removal program available to residents impacted by the recent Eaton and Palisades fires.
To participate, residents must complete the Right of Entry form, which is now available to download or complete online at recovery.lacounty.gov/debris-removal and at Disaster Recovery Centers.
Residents can call the Fire Debris Hotline with questions, or if they need help filling out the form at: 844-347-3332. In-person assistance also is available at the Disaster Recovery Centers open 9 AM to 8 PM.
The Right of Entry form is part of Phase 2 of the debris removal program where residents can Opt-In for free nonhazardous debris removal by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or residents can Opt-Out. Currently underway is Phase 1 of the debris removal program, which includes the removal of hazardous debris.
To participate in the free service, residents must complete a Right of Entry form by March 31, 2025. The US Army Corps of Engineers and their contractors cannot access a property to conduct the debris removal unless this form is completed.
The free debris removal program covers property assessment; asbestos removal; tree removal; ash and soil removal; burned debris removal; structural demolition; vehicle removal; erosional control; environmental monitoring; and potential foundation removal.
If You Opt-Out
Residents may also opt out and pay a specialized, approved contractor to remove the remaining fire debris, following all necessary requirements, rules and regulations. Federal and state disaster funding will NOT reimburse you for your debris removal work if you Opt-Out. You must also agree to follow the “Management of Los Angeles County Wildfire Debris” guidelines and specifications for private debris removal if you opt out.
Applications to opt-in and opt-out are available online and in-person at Disaster Recovery Centers locations listed below.
