Does my project need to comply with Wildland Urban Interface requirements?

If your project is located within any Fire Hazard Severity Zone or Wildland Urban Interface Fire Area, then it will need to comply with the materials and construction methods outlined in CA Residential Code R337, as amended by Placer County.  The requirements of R337 apply to new construction and to significant additions/remodels where the roofing, siding, and windows are all replaced within (1) year of building permit issuance per Placer County Code 15.04.270.
