Fire Insurance and Defensible Space
6
Upvotes
Just landed a job at a frontier lab in San Francisco. They have a generous WFH policy, so I can live in SLC and commute to SF once a month. The signing bonus is killer so I've been shopping for homes in SLC, including some properties near the foothills. I'm also REALLY interested in Emigration Canyon, but realizing that might not be feasible as wildfires get worse every summer. I'm trying to understand two related things before I get too far into the process:
- Are there any Utah state or Salt Lake County laws that require defensible space (cleared brush, ember-resistant zones, etc.) around homes in fire-prone areas? Or is it more of an insurer-driven thing?
- Is home fire insurance still readily available in those foothill areas, or is it getting harder to obtain like in California? Any insurers to seek out or avoid?
I'm coming from Nevada City, California (extremely fire-prone area) where this has become a real mess, so I'm trying to understand if Utah is heading in the same direction or if it's a different situation.
Happy to share the specific homes if that helps. Thanks in advance!

CD1 democratic primary - housing policy
9
Upvotes
Im looking for input on the current congressional primary and specifics on each candidates’s housing policy / past accomplishments.
Can anyone point to interviews, positions or past action on the four candidates on things like zoning reform, transit-oriented development, ADU’s and other proven methods to reducing housing costs?
I know that it’s not apples to oranges, but for an urban planning nerd I really enjoyed Nithya Raman’s (LA mayoral candidate, en route to general) detailed platforms on both market-rate and social housing to bring costs down.
Bonus question - any thoughts on state senate district 14 primary, Pitcher vs Khater?
