Boulder County, Colo. – Wildfire Partners is now accepting applications for its 2026 Multi-Family Dwelling Rebate Program. The program offers financial support to Boulder County communities that take proactive steps to reduce wildfire risk by removing highly flammable juniper vegetation.
The rebate program provides up to $500 per multi-family household unit for the Junk Your Junipers campaign in neighborhood common areas.
Junipers are highly combustible plants due to their volatile oils, dense growth, and retention of dead plant material. Having juniper bushes near your home increases the likelihood it will be impacted by wildfire.
The program is open to multi-family dwelling communities, such as apartment, condo, or townhome complexes throughout Boulder County, including all municipalities and the City of Boulder. Eligible applicants include Homeowners Associations (HOAs) and property management companies, which must apply on behalf of the entire community.
“Junipers are highly combustible and often planted near homes and shared spaces,” said Vicky Reinold, Wildfire Partners Grants Administrator. “This program supports neighborhoods in taking meaningful action by removing hazardous vegetation and making their properties safer for everyone.”
Wildfire Partners will provide expert assistance throughout the process. Once an application is approved, a Wildfire Mitigation Specialist will visit the property to identify and mark junipers for removal. Communities must then solicit three bids for the work, select a contractor, and complete the project within a specified period to qualify for the rebate. All junipers identified and marked by the Wildfire Mitigation Specialist must be removed to qualify for the rebate.
Applications are currently being accepted and the deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on July 24, 2026. This application deadline may close early depending upon demand. Upon successful completion and verification of work, rebates will be mailed in approximately 8–10 weeks.
