Get a free Zone 0 assessment for your Montecito property

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

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 Montecito.

What happens after you submit

1. We check your parcel. Your address is matched against CAL FIRE's 2025 maps and the Montecito Fire Protection District's own zone map, which distinguishes Very High, High, Moderate, and undesignated areas across the community.

2. You get a plain-English rundown. Which tier applies, what the district's hazard abatement inspections (running since June 1, 2026) look for, and what the phased state deadlines mean for your property, every structure included.

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.
