Zone Zero Requirements in Rancho del Rey

Rancho del Rey has its own fire authority (Chula Vista Fire Department) and does not inherit unincorporated San Diego County's 2023 Zone 0 rule. As of September 19, 2026 there is no statewide Zone 0 regulation in force in California. Keeping the first five feet around your home clear of combustibles is still the strongest, most practical prevention step you can take.

The community's age means some homes predate more recent wildfire building codes even though the master plan itself is relatively established.
