Portuguese law (Decreto-Lei 82/2021) requires property owners to maintain cleared vegetation zones of at least 50 metres around buildings in forest or rural areas, with a fully cleared zone of 5 metres immediately around structures. Failure to comply can result in fines and may affect insurance claims.
Properties in high-risk areas may face higher insurance premiums. Some insurers require evidence of defensible space before providing cover. Always check the specific ICNF fire risk classification for your exact property location, not just the municipality average.
