Oregon's Heat Smart Program – Required Removal of an Uncertified Woodstove Upon Home Sale

Information from: Oregon Deparment of Environmental Quality

The 2009 Oregon Legislature signed Senate Bill 102 into law requiring the removal of any uncertified woodstove from a home when it is sold. This bill is part of a program to help protect Oregonians from uncontrolled wood smoke. Residential wood burning is a significant source of air pollution, including fine particulate and air toxics.

Beginning August 1, 2010, if you are selling a home with an uncertified woodstove, you will be required to remove this device from the home.

Residents of Deschutes County, Jackson County, Klamath County, the town of Lakeview, and the cities of Bend and Medford currently have regulations that require homeowners to remove a non-certified solid fuel heating device when a home is sold. If you are a resident of these areas, please check with your local agency to determine what requirements apply to you.
