Fire Hazard Severity Zones

FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES

On May 20, 2025, The Board of Directors for the Ventura County Fire Protection District approved VCFPD Ordinance 33 adopting the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) 2025 Recommended LRA Fire Hazard Severity Zones. The new LRA FHSZs are effective July 1, 2025. The SRA FHSZ were adopted by the OSFM effective April 1, 2024.

Please use the following viewer to find your FHSZ:

If your parcel has 2 or more FHSZ within the parcel boundaries, the highest FHSZ will apply to the entire parcel. Please see VCFD Administrative Ruling 25-800 regarding split FHSZ zones.

There are no LRA FHSZ within the city of Port Hueneme.

For LRA FHSZ maps and adoption within the cities of Fillmore, Oxnard and Ventura, please contact those cities directly as they provide their own fire protection services and are not within the Ventura County Fire Protection District.

Additional resources regarding FHSZ:
CAL FIRE provided a fact sheet and answers to frequently asked questions, which you can see at
LRA Legislation Factsheet.
FHSZ FAQs – Spanish

State Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara provided a set of questions and answers about how this update will affect insurance availability and costs. You can see it at CDI- FHSZ.

Additional information regarding the FHSZ maps and the process of development can be found at: CAL FIRE FHSZ Maps.
