Multi-Family Dwelling Rebate Program

Multi-family dwellings throughout Boulder County, including all municipalities and the City of Boulder, such as condominiums, town homes, Homeowners Associations (HOAs), and other multi-unit communities are eligible to apply.

No, individuals within a community cannot apply for the Multi-Family Rebate Program. The HOA or Property Management Company must apply on behalf of the entire community. Wildfire Partners offers a General Rebate Program for single- family dwellings in Boulder County.

Residents living in a condominium, multi-unit, or townhome structure can apply for the General Rebate of $500, for qualified individual actions on the resident-owned structure.

Eligible communities will receive up to $500 per dwelling in the community depending upon the actual cost of the wildfire mitigation work.

These funds will be combined into one rebate for the community as a whole. (For example, a multi-family community with 20 dwellings could apply for a rebate of up to $10,000 to Junk Your Junipers in common areas.)

Junk Your Junipers! The 2025 Multi-Family Rebate Program is in place to help offset the costs of juniper removal projects in the common areas throughout the community.

There are various apps that can be downloaded on your smartphone to help you identify specific types of vegetation by taking a picture of the leaves. You can use an internet search to find pictures of junipers. If your application is approved, a Wildfire Partners Mitigation Specialist will come out to identify and mark your junipers for removal.

No. Rebates are only available for eligible work completed after the start of the program on August 11, 2025.

Yes, all junipers marked by the Wildfire Mitigation Specialist must be removed in order for the community to receive the rebate.
