TX · OFFICIAL STARTING POINTS
A plan grounded
in Texas.
Texas A&M Forest Service provides guidance for home preparation and landscape planning. Your local fire department can help put that guidance in context.
Begin with the official resource.
Use current guidance from Texas A&M Forest Service to understand the next steps for your property. Local agencies can clarify who handles assessment, inspection, permits, and seasonal restrictions.
Visit the official resourceWhat to ask locally
- Which authority is responsible for this property’s wildfire-preparedness requirements?
- Is a property assessment available, and who can provide it?
- How do slope, vegetation, property lines, and access affect the plan?
- Which permits, equipment restrictions, or disposal rules should be checked before work begins?
Resources are checked when published and can change. A general national distance or diagram is not a determination of your local legal obligations.
