Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement (California)

A map-based disclosure under California Civil Code §§1103-1103.15 stating whether a property lies in any of six hazard areas: a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, a dam failure inundation area, a High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, a wildland area with substantial forest fire risk, an Earthquake Fault Zone, or a Seismic Hazard Zone. Most sellers hire a third-party report provider, which shields them if they used reasonable care. Late delivery triggers the same 3-day or 5-day termination right as the TDS.
