State Legislation Gives Tax Credits to Homeowners to Protect Homes
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors Tuesday unanimously endorsed state legislation that would give tax credits to homeowners who make improvements to their properties to protect against wildfires.
AB 1912 was introduced by Assemblyman George Plescia, R-La Jolla, following October’s devastating firestorms in the region.
If the legislation is approved by the Legislature and signed by the governor, homeowners could get tax credits for making modifications to their properties that reduce the vulnerability to wildfire, such as replacing roofs, decks and siding with fire-resistant materials.
