  This is the final week to submit your Right of Entry form to take advantage of the government debris removal program—at no out-of-pocket cost to you. Opting in keeps your debris removal options open.
Submit the Right of Entry form here. The form is available in Spanish, Russian, Armenian, Korean, and Simplified Chinese.
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.
Public Works Principal Engineer Chris Sheppard encourages impacted residents to submit their Right of Entry form today in the video below. To watch the video in Spanish click here.
 The Private Property Debris Removal Program, which includes the Right of Entry Opt-In and Opt-Out process, is for residential property owners.
However, program eligibility is still being determined for commercial and industrial properties, condos, town houses, and mobile home parks. These groups are encouraged to submit a Right of Entry application by March 31, 2025 to potentially be considered for inclusion in the program.
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.
