About Coastal Key Escrow
Coastal Key Escrow is an escrow company serving buyers, sellers and real estate professionals in Newport Beach, Orange County, California. Escrow holds the funds and documents for a sale, clears the conditions in the purchase contract, and records the transfer once every requirement is met — including the seller's natural hazard disclosure.
Orange County's hazard picture is dominated by wildfire in the hill and canyon communities (Laguna Beach, Anaheim Hills, Rancho Santa Margarita) and liquefaction along the coastal lowlands, with the Newport-Inglewood and Whittier faults running through the northern and coastal cities. See how fire hazard severity zones affect disclosure. Mello-Roos is common across Orange County's newer master-planned communities — Ladera Ranch, Rancho Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo — far less so in the county's older, built-out cities.
Verity NHD delivers California Natural Hazard Disclosure reports billed directly to Coastal Key Escrow — no setup, no card — with eSign included. Order the report now, and the invoice goes to the escrow officer on the file to settle at closing.

Common questions in Newport Beach
- What's the biggest natural hazard disclosure concern in Orange County?
- Orange County's hazard picture is dominated by wildfire in the hill and canyon communities (Laguna Beach, Anaheim Hills, Rancho Santa Margarita) and liquefaction along the coastal lowlands, with the Newport-Inglewood and Whittier faults running through the northern and coastal cities. That's the kind of county-level context the statutory NHD report is built to surface for buyers.
- When does the NHD report need to be in the file?
- California law requires the seller's hazard disclosures before the buyer removes contingencies, so most escrow officers order the report as soon as a file opens to avoid a late scramble.
- What's actually in a California NHD report?
- A statutory NHD report covers six zones — flood, fire, earthquake fault, seismic hazard, wildfire, and (for some counties) additional state or local overlays — plus a set of natural hazard disclosures that aren't legally required but are customary in most transactions.
- Does escrow need to do anything to order the report?
- No — the agent or transaction coordinator can place the order and have it billed straight to the escrow file; escrow just confirms the invoice at closing.
