SAFE HOME Act

The SAFE HOME Act creates a refundable tax credit allowing homeowners to claim 25% of qualified wildfire mitigation costs, up to $25,000 annually. It directly affects primary homeowners in wildfire-prone areas - defined as locations with recent federal wildfire disaster declarations, FEMA hazard mitigation assistance, or designated "community disaster resilience zones." Qualifying expenses include fire-resistant roofing, ignition-resistant construction upgrades, vegetation clearing, and smoke prevention systems, but exclude government-funded projects. The credit phases out for taxpayers earning over $200,000 in adjusted gross income and expires after 2032.
