Firewise Donations – Need Your Help
The DPA board made the dumpster days, hydrant painting and Firewise signage possible by allocating funding toward these projects to reduce fire risk in Dollar Point. For 2021 the DPA board has increased the Firewise funding allocation 70%. However, the amount will not meet the projected expenses for this year. The Board has asked that we request member donations and continue to apply for funding grants to help offset the increasing costs.
The Firewise committee is asking for donations to help fund 2021 Firewise projects that reduce wildfire risk to your home and DPA facilities. Please consider a $20, $50 or other amount to help keep Dollar Point fire safe.
See the Firewise Donation PDF for instructions on how to donate.
Many thanks from the Firewise Committee!
Stay Safe!

Short term rentals and COVID-19
The Placer County Health Department has published a clarification about the operation of short-term rentals in North Lake Tahoe, including Dollar Point. The clarification is based on the Governor’s executive order regarding COVID-19.
Placer County Health Officer, Aimee Sisson, urged all short-term rentals to cease commercial operations because short term rentals used for commercial purposes are not considered part of critical infrastructure under the governor’s order. Ms. Sisson indicated that short-term rentals may only operate:
- To provide COVID-19 mitigation measures (for example, isolation and quarantine or the housing of displaced persons or the homeless.)
- To provide housing for essential critical infrastructure workers and
- For use by the property owner and his/her immediate family
