Wood rounds generated from common areas for Ladder Fuels Reduction (LFR) is available to Sunriver property owners in good standing on a first come, first served basis.

NOTE: Due to fire risk, firewood should not be stored against or near any structure (this includes your home, deck, trash enclosure, etc.) unless it is stored within a fully-enclosed area. It should not be stacked under tree drip lines or near other vegetation. During fire season all wood should be kept at least 20 feet from all structures or at your farthest property line (and your neighbors). 

Cord limit on property
Up to three cords of wood can be stored on your property at any given time. If wood burning is your primary source of heat, and you require more than three cords in a season, an owner can request an exemption. Click here to fill out the Firewood Exemption Request form.

Firewood Permits

• A free permit and load tags are required from SROA to collect and transport firewood rounds or split wood ONLY (up to 18" in length, not logs) that is generated from ladder fuels reduction projects within Sunriver. Logs are not to be cut or collected as those will be used by SROA.

• The owner of record for the property must apply for the permit. Owners are allowed one permit annually per property for the collection of up to three cords of wood. The member who obtained the permit must also be on site during wood collection.

• A cord of wood is neatly stacked 4 feet high by 8 feet long by 4 feet deep. Firewood may not be utilized as “fence building” and must be stacked in a rectangular pattern, not in a linear fashion. Refer to Sunriver Rules & Regulations (Sections 4.02 C, G and I) for more details.
  

• SROA’s permit and load tags ensure owners are compliant with state law (ORS 164.813), maintain collection equity and reduce non-owner wood theft.
  
  Call SROA at 541-593-2411 for location or view the map where cut wood from LFR projects may be available.
