Connect with a Licensed Zone Zero Contractor in Malibu

Q: Who must follow the wildfire rules in Malibu?

Nearly everyone. Malibu sits almost entirely within Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone mapping, so Zone Zero applies to the large majority of homes in the city. The contractor confirms your parcel's exact zone status during the free assessment.

Q: What is the 0-5 foot zone?

Zone Zero is the first 5 feet around your home, officially the ember-resistant zone under AB 3074. It must be kept free of combustible material: mulch, dead vegetation, and wood fencing attached to the house.

Q: What do I need to change?

Phase 1 clears combustible material from the zone. Phase 2 replaces built items like wood fences and gates. Rebuilds comply immediately at adoption. The assessment maps every phase to your specific property.

Q: When are the deadlines?

Final regulations are expected late 2026. Phase 1 for existing homes lands around 2027 to 2028, and Phase 2 follows on the local jurisdiction's schedule. The full table is on our deadlines page.
