Showing ordinances that apply to Fruitridge Pocket, CA
Fruitridge Pocket is an unincorporated community (population 6,102) in Sacramento County, California. Because Fruitridge Pocket is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Sacramento County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The wildfire zones rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Sacramento County contains Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the eastern foothills and portions of the Delta. Properties in VHFHSZ face stricter defensible space, building ignition-resistant construction, and insurance disclosure requirements.
Cal Fire maps Fire Hazard Severity Zones under PRC 4201-4204 and Government Code 51175-51189. In unincorporated Sacramento County, VHFHSZ parcels cluster near the Folsom Lake area, Rancho Murieta, and WUI-adjacent communities in the eastern county. Properties in VHFHSZ must comply with PRC 4291 defensible space, Chapter 7A of the California Building Code for ignition-resistant exteriors (Class A roof, ember-resistant vents, dual-pane windows) on new or substantially remodeled homes, and Natural Hazard Disclosure at sale under Civil Code 1103. Home hardening inspections and Zone 0 ember-resistant zones became effective statewide pursuant to AB 3074.
Noncompliance with defensible space results in county abatement and liens. Insurers increasingly non-renew policies on non-hardened VHFHSZ homes. Failure to disclose FHSZ status at sale can create seller liability.
