What Zone 0 Rules Apply in Hollywood Hills?
Required now: Existing California defensible-space law and applicable local fire-authority rules. Confirm what applies to your parcel with LAFD.
Proposed — not in force: The statewide Zone 0 rule package. OAL lists filing 2026-0828-03E as withdrawn on September 8, 2026; there is no statewide effective date.
Recommended now: Reduce ember exposure in the first five feet and ask for a follow-up on the work that fits your property.
Start with the parcel, not a statewide assumption
Use the checker for fire-hazard context, then confirm current requirements with LAFD. A map result does not create a legal obligation by itself.
Separate current law from a proposed framework
Required now means an existing rule or a local direction you should verify with the authority. Proposed — not in force describes the statewide framework tracked here, not a current statewide mandate. Recommended now means practical ember-risk reduction you may choose to do while the status is unsettled.
