California requires a seller to disclose six specific natural hazards, and two of them are flood-related. Civil Code section 1103.2 names them: a FEMA special flood hazard area, an area of potential flooding after dam failure, a very high fire hazard severity zone, a wildland fire risk area, an earthquake …

There are no active for-sale tract or production new-construction communities in Lamorinda right now.

Brentwood has dozens of landscape and lighting assessment districts, and unlike Mello-Roos, none of them triggers a standardized warning notice when a home is sold.
