Homeowners on private roads asked to apply for insurance to cover debris pickup (updated Dec. 8 at 5:30 p.m.)

The County of Volusia is nearing completion of Hurricane Matthew debris pickup on public roads and continues to remove debris from private rights of way. To date, the county and its contractor have picked up 1 million cubic yards of hurricane debris.

To ease the financial burden on residents, the county is applying for reimbursement from FEMA for removal of hurricane vegetative debris on private roads. This is normally excluded from federal funds. FEMA is prepared to reimburse the county for eligible vegetative debris pickup on private roads.

According to FEMA, homeowners on private roads who do not live in homeowners associations or mobile home parks and who placed debris for pickup by the county must:

• apply for insurance coverage if they have it;
• provide insurance information to the county; and
• reimburse the county if they receive payment from insurance or another source for the debris pickup.

Individual homeowners have a responsibility to not receive and keep double benefits. Homeowners associations and mobile home parks are already providing the required documentation to the county. For more information, call Volusia County’s Public Works Division at 386-736-5965.
