Get a free Zone 0 assessment for your Ventura County home

Tell us where your property is. A licensed professional reviews your parcel's hazard designation, walks the ember-resistant zone requirements that apply, and gives you a straight answer on what needs to change. Free, no obligation.

Quick answer: Zone Zero work in the 0 to 5 foot ember-resistant zone often involves fencing, gates, hardscape, and vegetation changes. Fence and gate work in California requires a CSLB-licensed contractor (Class C-13 for fencing). The assessment below is free and connects you with licensed professionals who work in Ventura County, from the Ojai Valley to the Conejo Valley.

What happens after you submit

1. We check your parcel. Your address is matched against CAL FIRE's 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps and your community's adopted local map. With 59,000 of the county's 86,000 mapped parcels now Very High, the answer is yes more often than most homeowners expect, and a parcel-level check beats a guess.

2. You get a plain-English rundown. Which tier you're in, which Zone 0 requirements apply, what your fire authority (VCFD or the Ventura City Fire Department) will look for, and what the phased deadlines mean for you.

3. If work is needed, you're connected with a licensed contractor. Fence and gate replacement in the 0 to 5 foot zone is the most common project. All referrals are CSLB-licensed. You choose who you hire, always.
