Terms of use and access
This tool gives general guidance on City of Austin Wildland-Urban Interface Code (WUIC) requirements and the Austin Fire Department Approved Materials List (AML). Please read and accept the terms below.
This is informational guidance only. It is not an official interpretation of the code, and it does not replace plan review, inspection, or a determination by the fire code official.
This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the City of Austin or the Austin Fire Department.
Answers are generated with AI and may contain errors or be out of date. The AML and code change. Verify every answer against the current code, the current AML, and the City WUI map before you buy materials, design, or build.
The zone shown for an address is a preliminary lookup. Zones A and B depend on measured distance to wildland, and the fire code official decides.
This is not legal, engineering, architectural, or insurance advice, and nothing here guarantees permit approval or insurance coverage.
Supplier names come from the AML. Any contact box marked "Sponsored" is a paid listing, not an endorsement and not part of the AML.
The address and question you enter are sent to outside services (the City of Austin and U.S. Census geocoders, and Anthropic, which generates the answer). Do not enter confidential information.
