Fire hazard severity zones: disclosures.
Summary
Existing law generally requires the seller of a single-family residential property to make certain disclosures of natural hazards on a specified statement to a prospective buyer, including whether the property is located in a very high fire hazard severity zone. This bill, if a single-family residential property is located within a fire hazard severity zone, would require the above-described disclosure in the natural hazard statement to specify whether the property is located in a high or very high fire hazard severity zone. The bill would also clarify that the natural hazard statement is required to include a disclosure as to whether the property is located within a high fire hazard severity zone in a state responsibility area, very high fire hazard severity zone in a state responsibility area, or very high fire hazard severity zone in a local responsibility area.
