Holiday Farm Fire Recovery: Where Things Stand
Six years after the fire, most emergency programs have closed. Here is what is still open, what has ended, and where to get help today.
Still open
What you can still do
If you lost a home or property in the fire and haven’t finished rebuilding, these are the protections and contacts that still matter.
If your replacement home was approved under the 2021 rebuild law (HB 2289), you have until December 30, 2030 to start construction.
Rebuild rules explained →The state extended temporary living in RVs and similar shelters on fire-affected property to about September 2030.
What still applies →Lawsuits against the utilities over the fire are still in federal court. Settlement talks began in fall 2026.
Latest lawsuit update →The local recovery group is still active. Contact them about remaining needs and whether help is available for your situation.
Visit the LTRG →Missed a deadline? You may still be able to rebuild under normal zoning rules. Talk to Lane County Land Management before you assume the answer is no.
Closed or expired

- Infrastructure decides what can come back
- Help and deadlines run on different clocks
- Recovery takes far longer than anyone plans for
