3. Boulder County, Colorado — Fall Strategic Fuels Mitigation Grant
Application period: September 17–October 29, 2026
Eligible applicants: Homeowners associations (HOAs), fire protection districts, nonprofit organizations, and local municipalities.
Purpose: Support community-scale, landscape-scale, and cross-boundary wildfire mitigation projects designed to reduce wildfire risk, protect water supplies, and promote resilient communities and ecosystems.
Boulder County reports that the Strategic Fuels Mitigation Grant program has awarded more than $7 million to date, leveraging more than $10 million in matching funds.
Why this may be relevant to noncombustible fencing
This program is particularly worth reviewing for DuraBond because HOAs and fire protection districts are among the organizations encouraged to apply. A noncombustible steel fencing component could potentially be considered when it is incorporated into a broader wildfire-resilience project, such as community-edge treatment, home hardening, access protection, or another strategically identified mitigation effort.
Important: Boulder County's published materials focus primarily on fuels reduction, forest and grassland management, and community wildfire protection planning. Applicants should confirm directly with Boulder County whether a proposed fencing component is an allowable project cost before including it in an application.

Jefferson County, Colorado Wildfire Mitigation Grants & Funding
Jefferson County, Colorado is investing in wildfire preparedness, defensible space, and home hardening through its Wildland Fire Management Program. For property owners and communities in wildfire-prone areas, these programs may provide opportunities to support wildfire mitigation projects.
Jefferson County Wildland Fire Management Program
Funding: $7 million approved for the county's Wildland Fire Management Program
Focus: Wildfire education and outreach, homeowner assessments and certification, micro-grants for defensible space and home hardening, fire protection district support, and other wildfire management resources.
Fencing relevance: Potentially relevant
Noncombustible perimeter fencing or replacement of combustible fencing may be relevant to a broader wildfire mitigation or home-hardening project. However, fencing eligibility depends on the specific funding program, applicant, property, and project scope.
Jefferson County WUI & Wildfire Resiliency Requirements
Jefferson County's updated Wildfire Resiliency Code (WRC) and WUI regulations became effective July 1, 2026. The regulations address defensible space and structure hardening for applicable properties within the county's Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI).
Jefferson County identifies materials including metal, stone, masonry, and concrete block among materials that may meet applicable wildfire resiliency requirements, depending on the specific application and testing requirements.
View Jefferson County defensible space & structure hardening information →Can Wildfire Funding Help Pay for Noncombustible Fencing?
Possibly. Not every wildfire mitigation grant or county program covers fencing. Eligibility must be confirmed with the funding agency before including fencing in a project budget.
When permitted by the applicable program, noncombustible steel fencing can be considered as part of a broader wildfire mitigation strategy, particularly where a project addresses defensible space, home hardening, combustible-material replacement, or property-level wildfire resilience.
DuraBond Inc. supplies authentic COLORBOND® steel fencing for contractors and other qualified project partners. Our steel fencing provides a noncombustible alternative to combustible wood fencing and can be incorporated into projects where the selected fencing system meets the applicable project, code, and funding requirements.

Why fencing matters in wildfire risk
Fuel Path Risk
Wood fencing can carry fire directly to structures when attached to the home.
Ignition Zone
The first 0–5 feet around a home is a critical ignition control zone.
Mitigation Goal
Reduce combustible materials that connect vegetation to structures.
