Archuleta County: wildfire programs and mitigation help
Wildfire Adapted Partnership area
Rules summarized below are drawn from the county's published information and may have changed. Always confirm with the county directly: official Archuleta County source.
Archuleta County sits in Wildfire Adapted Partnership territory — the Southwest Colorado nonprofit whose defensible-space cost-share reimburses part of mitigation costs via an award-letter process after a free Home Ignition Zone assessment. Whether a given Pagosa-area address qualifies depends on WAP's current grant geography, so the county coordinator is the first call.

|---|---|
| First call | WAP's county coordinator for Archuleta (wildfireadapted.org/contact) confirms whether your address is inside current grant geography. |
