DON'T believe this is anything new.....State Farm (my agent/underwriter) has been doing it for
years (Hi-Meadow,Snakey back in the early 2000's).....never know when they show up,never
know what the report is UNLESS they find your property NOT mitigated efficiently....THEN they
report back (via a letter,email) to your agent and THEN you get a notice.....I contacted my
agent THIS year regarding this exact topic.....the above is what he related......I went one step
further and made sure that the underwriters had a copy of my "FIREWISE" DESIGNATION and
that my agent's office had a copy.....so that EVERYONE knew our property had been mitigated/
and NOT neglected. (it still won't matter because what's coming down the pike is wildfire risk
accessments for urban/forest interface....you want the view/privacy, you will pay for it, just
like water useage for city water infrastructure.)
