California law requires sellers to disclose flood, fire, and earthquake zones

Yes — under California Civil Code §1103.2, sellers must give you a Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement covering flood, fire, and earthquake fault zones before you close. It's required, and it doesn't quantify the risk.

Before you close on any home in California, the seller must give you a Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement under California Civil Code §1103.2. It states whether the property sits in a designated flood hazard zone, a very high fire hazard severity zone, an earthquake fault zone, or a few other state-defined risk zones. It doesn't quantify the risk, and it isn't optional — read the actual NHD report yourself before you remove contingencies, don't rely on a summary from anyone, agent or website included.
