Wildland-Urban Interface Code

Building and structures located within designated WUI areas are subject to requirements for site, infrastructure and structure hardening. Get started using this Guide to Projects in Austin’s Wildland Urban Interface (pdf)/Guía de Proyectos en la Interfaz Urbano-Silvestre de Austin (pdf). 

This page lays out the four steps associated with development in the WUI:

Step 1: WUI Project Criteria 

The Wildland-Urban Interface has rules to protect buildings from wildfire. These ignition-resistant requirements change based on how close a structure is to the wildland.

Proximity Zones

The WUI Code uses Proximity Zones to determine what requirements apply to a project. 

  • Zone A: Structures located 50 feet or closer to the wildland

  • Zone B: Structures located greater than 50 feet and up to 150 feet from the wildland

  • Zone C: Structures greater than 150 feet and up to 1.5 miles from 750 acres or more of wildland; or 
    Structures greater than 150 feet and up to .5 miles from 40 acrores or more of wildland

Once the proximity zone of a project is determined, the requirements for that zone can be applied.

WUI Map

Use this Interactive WUI Code Map to determine a project's Proximity Zone. If in Zone A or B, confirm on site by measuring to the nearest wildland.

This WUI Code Training Video includes step-by-step directions about using the interactive map. The map instruction begins at time marker 51:43.

Step 2: WUI Zone Rules

Once a project's Proximity Zone has been determined using the Interactive WUI Code Map, apply the following resources to identify construction requirements.

Guiding Documents

The 2024 International Wildland-Urban Interface Code (IWUIC) and the City of Austin's local amendments guide every building project.

Approved Materials and Vegetation

The WUI Approved Materials List (AML) includes materials that have been verified to meet the WUI Code requirements. 

Video Training Presentation

This WUI Code Training Video summarizes the code adopted by the City of Austin. Watch the presentation in its entirety or use the bookmarks to jump to specific topics.

Step 3: Permitting Requirements
Permitting Requirements

Check the Do I Need a Permit webpage to determine if a project needs a permit. Even if a permit is not needed, the work still must follow WUI Code requirements.

Work Exempt from WUI Code Chapter 5

All work on a building, structure, or premise in the WUI must comply with the WUI Code.  This includes construction, alteration, movement, repair, maintenance, and use of the structure. 

However, the work below does not have to follow Chapter 5, as listed in Section 501.1:

  • Accessory structures that are 100 square feet or smaller and are more than 50 feet away from the nearest structure.

  • Agricultural buildings that are more than 50 feet away from the nearest structure.

These structures must follow all other chapters.  Including access, water supply, an Ember Ignition Zone, and protection surrounding outdoor fires.

Jurisdiction and Applicability

The WUIC applies to properties in the City of Austin Full Purpose or Limited Purpose (LTD) areas. It does not apply to properties fully in the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). Properties located within more than one jurisdiction are subject to WUIC requirements. The extent of required compliance will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. 

Application Submittal Requirements

The following checklists outline the documents needed as part of the WUIC Plan Review:

 

Plan Submission Requirements 

Clear, complete details help City staff verify the work meets the rules. Contractors can then install the right materials. 

To avoid confusion, delays, and costly construction changes, plans must clearly show:

  • Exact product details: manufacturer name, product model or number, and fire test data for each material. 
    Fictional example: “StoneHaven StrataBoard Horizontal Siding, ASTM E84 Class A” 

  • Where materials are used: label materials in wall sections, elevations, floor plans, and roof plans.  Another option is to list them in a materials schedule. 

  • Code references with product information: if listing a code section (example: WUIC 504.7), identify the specific product that meets it. 

Providing a WUI Detail Drawing Sheet and WUI Materials Schedule is optional.  They can consolidate information in one place for easy review, construction, and inspection.  

For more guidance, follow the Guide to WUIC Drawing Details.

Download a WUI Materials Schedule template to get started:
 

Step 4: Inspections
Inspection Resources

All classes of ignition-resistant construction require two WUI inspections. Materials installed in the field must match approved materials shown on the plans.  The inspector will verify this on-site.

Inspection 1: Coordinate at or just before scheduling the building frame inspection. The frame cannot be covered until the fire inspection has been satisfactorily completed.
 

Inspection 2: Schedule after the structure is complete and ready for a building final. The WUI final must be completed prior to the building final. 

The following links provide additional inspection information 
 

Inspection times vary based on demand and staff availability. Inspections must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance. Planning a week ahead, especially during busy periods, is recommended.

WUI Construction Guide

The following sections provide guidance on specific building elements that require additional protection in the wildland-urban interface.  For a more complete list of requirements, please consult Step 2: WUI Zone Rules.

Know Your Risk

Austin was the first major city in Texas to adopt the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code. The initial code, which was adopted in 2020, was revised in 2024 to reflect new understanding of wildfire vulnerabilities and protections.

Under the updated code, more than half of Austin falls into one of three WUI Code zones (A,B and C) which each have site, infrastructure and structure hardening requirements.

Use the 2024 WUI Code Interactive Map to determine whether your property is included in the wildland-urban interface, and if so, which zone. 

Chimney-WUI-Guide-Photo
Eaves

Roof construction requirements are similar in Zones A, B, and C, except when working on eaves.  The 2024 WUI Code allows many ignition-resistant options for eaves, however, there are simple options that work in all zones:

  • Soffits & Outdoor Ceilings: use fiber cement, stucco, or metal.
  • Fascia: Use fiber cement, stucco, or metal. Back up fascia with continuous 2x lumber.
  • No soffit vents, except in Zone C.
  • In Zone C, perforated fiber cement soffits are also allowed with 1/8” ember mesh behind them.
  • Always select ignition-resistant materials for eaves
Vents

Wildfires can spread when embers land on roofs or blow into vents, causing wood and other flammable material to catch fire, which puts homes and other structures at risk.

Ventilation openings that require protection include bathroom exhaust vents, HVAC air intakes, attic vents, underfloor vents, exterior wall vents, and others.

  • Cover openings with non‑combustible, corrosion‑resistant mesh (openings ≤ 1/8”).
  • Attic vents cannot be in soffits, eaves, or rafters (except Zone C soffit vents with ember mesh).
  • Gable and dormer vents must be 10 feet from the lot line.
  • Vent size cannot exceed 144 square inches.
  • Do not use window screen material because it melts in fire.  Look for galvanized or stainless-steel hardware cloth, or ember protection mesh made specifically for use in the WUI.
  • Ember mesh is not required at dryer vents or plumbing vents; however dryer vents must be metal with metal ductwork.
Roofing & Roofing Valleys

A Class A roof assembly is required. This is the highest fire rating for a roof assembly or covering.  Once a roof covering is selected, ensure with the manufacturer that the underlayment, insulation, and sheathing is sufficient for the Class A fire rating

  • Roof covering = material you see on the exterior such as shingles, metal, and clay tile.
  • Roof assembly = covering + deck + underlayment/insulation, all tested together for fire resistance.

Roof valleys must use metal flashing or a woven valley (closed valley).  Flashing must meet IWUIC standards and be visible for inspection.

Metal Valley Flashing:  0.019 inch (0.48 mm) (No. 26 galvanized sheet gage) corrosion-resistant metal installed over a minimum 36-inch wide (914 mm) underlayment consisting of one layer of 72-pound (32.4 kg) mineral-surfaced, non-perforated cap sheet complying with ASTM D3909 running the full length of the valley.

Woven Valley: Valley shingles that have been weaved or woven (closed valley) to create a continuous layer of shingles over the valley may be flashed using 26 gage (0.019 inch) galvanized sheet metal running the full length of the valley and extending at least 12 inches on both planes of the roof surface. Flashing shall be viewable from the end of the valley at the roof eave for inspections.

Gutters

Gutters and downspouts shall be constructed of non-combustible materials with non-corrosive and non-combustible leaf guards to prevent the accumulation of leaves and debris.

Chimneys

Chimneys serving fireplaces, chimineas, barbecues, outdoor pizza ovens, incinerators, or decorative heating appliances must have a spark arrestor constructed of woven or welded wire screening equivalent to 12 USA standard gage (SWG) wire (0.1046 inch) (2.66 mm), 19 SWG galvanized wire (0.040 inch)(1.02 mm), or 24 SWG stainless steel wire (0.022 inch) (0.56 mm) having openings not exceeding 1/2 inch (12.7 mm).  See Appendix A in the WUI code for other requirements for outdoor heating and cooking elements.

Fences

Wildfires spread through flames, heat, and flying embers.  A wooden fence can act like a fuse, carrying fire straight to the home or building. 

Fence construction requirements are similar in Zones A, B, and C. To protect your property, build fences and fence segments located within 10 feet of a house or other structure with fire resistant materials. Options include: non‑combustible materials (like metal or masonry, naturally fire-resistant hardwoods and fire-resistant materials that meet code standards.

Many fire‑resistant fence options, like the examples below, are available at home improvement stores, online, or through contractors. 

Steel Privacy Fencing

Steel Privacy Fencing | Corrugated Metal Fencing | Wrought Iron Fencing

concrete fencing and steel wire fencing

Concrete or Stone Fencing | Steel Wire Fencing

Please note:

  • Fire-retardant paints, coatings, or stains do not provide permanent fire resistance and are not allowed.
  • Find out more in the Fences FAQ
  • Some materials may not be permitted in Zone A.
  • See our WUI Approved Materials List of pre‑approved materials.
FAQs
Retroactivity 

Do existing buildings in the Wildland‑Urban Interface (WUI) have to be updated to meet the current WUIC?

No.  New construction or development started on or after January 1, 2021, is required to comply. 

The 2024 WUIC only applies to new construction or development that starts on or after July 10, 2025. This includes permit applications submitted on or after that date.

Existing buildings do not need to be changed. Except when a code official determines they are a serious safety hazard. 

WUI Map

Will the map eventually show three different colors for Zones A, B, and C? 

No. Zones A and B are shown together on both the 2024 WUI Code Interactive Map and the Property Profile Map.  The map is meant to help applicants get started, but cannot replace the process of verifying a site.

To find out which Proximity Zone applies, measure the distance from the structure to the wildland using the tools on the map.  Confirm conditions directly on the site.

If still unsure after checking both the map and the site, please Email us for assistance. 

Changes to Approved Site Plans

Do approved Site Plans have to be updated for the 2024 WUIC?

No. Site Plans approved under the 2015 WUIC or earlier do not need to be changed for the 2024 WUIC for siterelated items such as: 

• 106.7 Vicinity Plan 
• 402.2 Access and Water Supply for Individual Structures 
• 403 Access 
• 603 Defensible Space 
• 603.2.1 Ember Ignition Zone (EIZ) 

However, any modification that adds a new structure, adds a new unit, or increases a building’s fire area must meet the updated rules for the revised portion. 

Permits submitted on or after July 10, 2025, must meet the 2024 WUIC.  Previously approved site elements may remain under the old code. 

Volume Builder Program Participants

Do Volume Builder Master Plans need to be updated for the 2024 WUIC?

Master Plans submitted before July 10, 2025, may continue using the 2021 Residential Code and 2015 WUIC for that section or phase. New sections or phases requiring a new Master Plan must follow the 2024 technical codes.

Master Plans submitted on or after July 10, 2025, must meet the 2024 codes.  Older prototype plans cannot be reused unless updated.

WUI Vicinity Plans approved under the 2015 WUIC may still be used for new phases in the same subdivision unless changes affect how close structures are to wildland areas. 

If only a portion of a PUD had a WUI Vicinity Plan, new plans are needed for other sections unless covered by the approved PUD agreement. 

Ember Ignition Zone

How far from the EIZ should a new tree be planted?

All parts of a new tree, including its expected full-grown canopy, must be outside the EIZ. 
Existing heritage or protected trees may stay and should be maintained per LDC and ECM rules.

Why aren't vegetative roofs allowed in the WUI? 

Green roofs can increase wildfire risk because plants can catch embers and burn. The WUI Code focuses on reducing fuel near buildings and creating noncombustible space to protect people, homes, and fire crews. 

What is a vegetative roof? 

A vegetative roof is a roof system that includes plants as part of its design.

See the International Building Code (IBC) and International Fire Code (IFC) Section 202 for a full definition. 

How do EIZ rules work with impervious cover requirements? 

Both permeable and impermeable surfaces are allowed. Gravel is a common permeable option. 

In Zone C, closely mowed green grass is also allowed under a specific exception. 

Can a weed barrier be added under gravel in the EIZ? 

Yes, as long as it is fully covered by gravel or another noncombustible material. 

Is there a restriction on gravel type? 

No, although some projects may have other code requirements that affect gravel size. 

Does the EIZ have to extend onto a neighbor’s property? 

No. The EIZ stops at your property line. 

Can other perennial grasses besides Rye be used in Zone C? 

Possibly. Alternatives for review may be submitted as an Alternative Method of Compliance. 

Can green grass be used in Zone B? 

No. Green grass is only allowed in Zone C, where buildings are at least 150 feet from wildland areas. 

What landscaping items are allowed in the EIZ?

Examples include gravel, pavers, concrete, metal or concrete furniture without cushions, stone décor, bird baths, and other noncombustible items.

Exterior Walls

Are 1-hour fire rated exterior walls required in Zones A and B? 

A 1-hour wall is one of the approved options where the exterior finish is ignition-resistant.  Most projects use either noncombustible or ignitionresistant materials.

Zone B follows the same rules as Zone A to match the model code. 

Decks & Appendages

What materials can be used for deck structures since ground contact fire retardant treated wood isn’t available?

Heavy timber, metal, steel, masonry, or cement-based materials can be used for deck framing. Some naturally durable wood species that are fire retardant treated may also be acceptable.

Standard exterior wood framing can be used if the entire underside of the deck is fully enclosed with ignition-resistant skirting. With this option, there can be no storage or access openings under the deck. If equipment below the deck needs access, there must be an ignition-resistant alcove so that, even if a door is left open, all surfaces inside that space are ignition resistant. 

Can a 6x6 wood post be used for a patio cover?

No, a plain 6x6 post does not meet WUI requirements. Posts must either meet heavy timber size requirements, be fire retardant treated for exterior use, or be wrapped in an ignition-resistant material.  Approved naturally fire-resistant hardwoods may be used in Zones B and C.
 

Fences

How is fence distance to a building measured?

Measure from the outer face of the building wall (or appendage) to the nearest face of the fence.

What if a new building is placed close to an existing noncompliant fence?

The fence should be brought into compliance. If that isn’t possible, either: 

• the nearby wall and eave must be 1-hour fire rated and ignition resistant, or 
• all exterior wall and eave materials must be fully noncombustible.

Windows & Doors

Do windows and doors have to meet every requirement in WUIC 504.8 and 504.9? 

No. They only need to meet one of the listed compliant options unless additional upgrades are required for hazard mitigation.

Do window and door frames have special requirements? 

Window and door frames may be any material allowed by the Building or Residential Code.  Skylight frames must be noncombustible.

Only the glazing and door construction must meet WUIC 504.8 and 504.9.
