Debris Removal Insurance

Frequently Asked Questions

The County strongly encourages any homeowner with debris removal insurance to use it for their property’s additional debris removal expenses, such as the removal of debris not removed during the Consolidated Debris Removal Program (considered ineligible debris for the program). Below is a sample list of some debris you may be able to remove using your insurance policy:

  • Driveways
  • Fencing or walls made of concrete, wood, or other materials
  • Swimming pools
  • Concrete surfaces left from a porch, lanai, or stairs
  • Hazard or non-hazard trees and other green waste
  • Small structures or outbuildings damaged by the fire or winds but not eligible for the Consolidated Debris Removal Program (CDRP)
  • Gravel or other erosion control measures left behind by the CDRP

You may also be able to use your insurance to pay for work related to debris removal, such as:

  • Remediation of smoke damaged structures or personal property
  • Repair of damage from extended service outages because of the fire
  • Re-filling of holes or repair of damages caused by the CDRP

Remember to check with your insurance provider which of these items are eligible under your policy before starting any work. Keep any documentation for work performed.
