Deadline for Right of Entry Forms Extended to April 15

Deadline for Right of Entry Forms Extended to April 15

Impacted LA County residents now have until April 15, 2025 to submit a Right of Entry form to opt-in to the government-run debris removal program or opt-out.

The scope of the debris removal program is also expanding beyond only residential property owners to include condominiums and multi-family buildings that have at least ONE unit that is occupied by the owner.

Properties that are entirely owned by for-profit entities are not included in this expansion and are considered commercial properties. All other properties that do not fall under the expanded scope will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis under the following criteria:

• An immediate threat to public health and safety due to debris.
• Barriers to the commercial entity completing debris removal independently.
• Insurance coverage and status of claim.
• Economic impact of debris removal on the commercial entity and community.

If you have not opted into the Right of Entry program yet—now is the time. You can still change your mind and have the debris removed at your own expense but consider opting into the program to keep your options open.

Submit the Right of Entry form here. The form is available in Spanish, Russian, Armenian, Korean, and Simplified Chinese. 

Opting-Out: If you choose to opt-out of the government debris removal program, you must submit an opt-out form here. Property owners who choose to hire private contractors for fire debris removal can then receive an Eaton and Palisades Fire Debris Removal permit via the County’s EPIC-LA system. This permit allows home and business owners—and their authorized private contractors—to manage their own debris removal efforts while ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal safety and environmental standards.

How to Withdraw an ROE: Residents can withdraw after submitting an ROE by submitting this Withdrawal Form.

The form is available on the recovery site here: https://recovery.lacounty.gov/debris-removal/roe/.
