The Board of Forestry adopted the statewide Zone 0 regulation on August 19, 2026. It is not yet in effect (Office of Administrative Law review comes first, so no statewide compliance deadline is running), and separately, six local jurisdictions already have their own Zone 0 rules in force. Either way, most fence quotes in fire country right now come in two flavors: a full-replacement pitch you don't need, or a crew that has never read the rule. The contractors in our network agree to a different standard:

Scope honesty. If the job is a five-foot transition span and a gate, that's the quote, not a whole-fence replacement. What the rule actually requires.
Material honesty. Noncombustible means ASTM E136 (aluminum, steel, masonry), including posts, footings and hardware. No "fire-rated" substitutions.
Documentation on every job. Before/during/after photos, material labels, and a completed certificate in the wording your insurer's form uses. Why this is the part that pays.
No insurance promises. No contractor may quote you a discount percentage or guarantee coverage. Anyone who does is guessing with your money.
Status honesty. Nobody in the network tells you the statewide rule is already in force, or sells a fence or gate as "Zone 0 compliant." The regulation is adopted and waiting on an effective date; local ordinances are named by jurisdiction. Where the rule stands today.
