I will never buy a house in the woods because of this. I would love it but insurance might start getting hard to find/very expensive.

    If someone was giving you $2,000 a year and you had to pay them $500,000 if their home burned down, would you be insistent on keeping it mitigated?

    Some companies can accept a mitigation letter from approved companies to pass these inspections now. Reach out to your agent and see what your options are. I know American Family has a "fire score" and if the address gives too high of a score, they wont even quote you. State Farm has similar guidelines to Allstate. Probably only a matter of time until everyone is on board.

    Im sorry for your situation. It's very frustrating.

    The reality is Colorado sucks for property insurance. Thanks mother nature.
    I think you missed the part that I already did the mitigation. I pulled down 150 trees and had the Colorado Forest Service write up the plan. I met their guidelines and have all the documentation. What Allstate is doing is unreasonable!

    Is there a way to post a couple PDF docs on here; I can share my mitigation documents.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
