It depends.

Are you going to live in your home in FIRE? Then do not count it in your FIRE portfolio and you don't need to include rent in your planned FIRE expenses - but do include a maintenance budget and property taxes etc.

Are you going to sell your home or rent it out during FIRE? Then it is an asset and count it in your FIRE portfolio. But then also remember to include rent in your planned FIRE expenses or save up for a separate FIRE home buying budget.
