Maps and Perimeters of California Wildfires by Year
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) provided CTCAC with additional 9% federal tax credits for multifamily housing projects in certain disaster areas, in recognition of the recent disasters occurring in California. The disaster areas defined in the CAA are located in 22 of California’s 58 counties: Butte, Fresno, Lake, Lassen, Los Angeles, Madera, Mendocino, Monterey, Napa, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Shasta, Siskiyou, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Trinity, Tulare, and Yolo. Applicants may apply for disaster area federal tax credits provided CTCAC regulation and program requirements are met. For the 2017, 2018 and 2020 disaster area fire perimeters referenced in CTCAC Regulation §10325, CTCAC is utilizing CAL FIRE and ArcGIS visual representations. See below for information on how to access these.
