About Golden State Escrow Inc
Golden State Escrow Inc is an escrow company serving buyers, sellers and real estate professionals in Ontario, San Bernardino 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.
San Bernardino County spans the San Andreas fault through the Inland Empire valley floor and extensive Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the San Bernardino Mountains and high-desert foothill communities (Yucaipa, Running Springs, Big Bear). See how fire hazard severity zones affect disclosure. Mello-Roos is common in the county's newer Inland Empire subdivisions (Chino, Ontario, Fontana); mountain and high-desert communities carry it less often.

Common questions in Ontario
- What's the biggest natural hazard disclosure concern in San Bernardino County?
- San Bernardino County spans the San Andreas fault through the Inland Empire valley floor and extensive Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the San Bernardino Mountains and high-desert foothill communities (Yucaipa, Running Springs, Big Bear). 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.
