San Diego County projects vary by neighborhood and local requirements. We design fire-aware fencing and help confirm material options with your AHJ.
Fire Hazard Severity Zones classify areas based on fire risk from terrain, vegetation, and weather. Designations can change; confirm your property's status with local hazard maps and align materials with local requirements. CAL FIRE dataset notes SRA FHSZ effective Apr 1, 2024 and LRA recommendations from 2007-2011 (source).
Insurance treatment varies by carrier and policy. Fire hardening may help, but discounts or eligibility are not guaranteed. Confirm details with your insurer.
