Safeguard — California Natural Hazard Disclosure
Every determination,
sourced and dated.
The statutory Natural Hazard Disclosure for any property in California. Hazard findings come from the state and federal maps the statute names, and the tax page is read from the county rather than a resold feed.

Enter the property and we will find the parcel.
We find the parcel first. Nothing is ordered until you confirm it.
Every hazard the statute names, and the tax on the parcel.
Civil Code 1103.2 names six hazard determinations. A complete report answers all six, states the source and the publication date for each, and says plainly where a hazard was not found rather than leaving the line blank. The two tax disclosures follow, read from the county.
Special Flood Hazard Area
FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, with the panel number and its effective date.
Area of Potential Flooding
Dam failure inundation, from the maps published by DWR and Cal OES.
Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone
CAL FIRE, including zones adopted but not yet in force.
Wildland Fire Area
State Responsibility Area, where the state carries the fire protection duty.
Earthquake Fault Zone
California Geological Survey, Alquist Priolo.
Seismic Hazard Zone
California Geological Survey landslide and liquefaction zones.
Mello Roos and 1915 Act
The districts on the parcel and the current annual charge, with the maximum special tax, its escalator and its term where the district's Rate and Method establishes them.
Tax and assessment
The secured bill in full: the ad valorem levy, every direct charge itemised by the agency levying it, and the total.
All 58 California counties · Residential and commercial
The tax page is where these reports go wrong.
Most of the industry buys property tax data from a reseller. We read the county's own tax bill. That difference shows up on exactly the parcels where it matters most, the ones carrying a Mello Roos district, a 1915 Act assessment or a PACE lien.
Read from the county
The county tax collector is the source. Where a county cannot answer inside a request, that county's own roll is held rather than substituting a figure from somewhere else.
Reconciled to the cent
A county counts as verified only when the total, the ad valorem subtotal and the direct charge subtotal each match the county's printed bill exactly. Two errors can cancel inside a total.
Checked every morning
All 58 counties are probed daily, and the check asks whether a real bill came back rather than whether the request succeeded. A scraper that quietly stops still returns a plausible number.
Three steps, start to delivery.
Enter the property
An address or an APN with its county. The parcel is resolved and shown back to you before anything is ordered.
The report is built
Hazard layers are determined against the parcel boundary, and the county's current tax bill is read at the time of the order.
Delivered
A signed PDF arrives by email and stays available in your account, ready to attach to the disclosure package.
Statewide, with the detail intact.
Hazard layers are determined against the parcel boundary rather than a single point, and the centroid result travels with it. Where those two disagree is where a determination gets challenged, so the report carries both.
