About Reserve Escrow
Reserve Escrow is an escrow company serving buyers, sellers and real estate professionals in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles 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.
Los Angeles County runs the full range of NHD-relevant exposure: Alquist-Priolo earthquake fault zones along the San Andreas, Newport-Inglewood and Sierra Madre faults, Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones through Malibu and the foothill communities, and liquefaction zones along the coastal plain and harbor. See how fire hazard severity zones affect disclosure. Mello-Roos and 1915 Act assessments show up mostly in newer master-planned pockets of the Santa Clarita and Antelope Valleys — older, built-out LA neighborhoods rarely carry one.
Verity NHD delivers California Natural Hazard Disclosure reports billed directly to Reserve 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 Beverly Hills
- What's the biggest natural hazard disclosure concern in Los Angeles County?
- Los Angeles County runs the full range of NHD-relevant exposure: Alquist-Priolo earthquake fault zones along the San Andreas, Newport-Inglewood and Sierra Madre faults, Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones through Malibu and the foothill communities, and liquefaction zones along the coastal plain and harbor. That's the kind of county-level context the statutory NHD report is built to surface for buyers.
- Can the NHD report be e-signed?
- Yes — every Verity NHD report includes eSign, so the disclosure can go out and come back signed without a separate signature platform.
- Who pays for the Natural Hazard Disclosure report in California?
- By custom the seller pays, and it's standard for escrow to collect the fee at closing rather than asking the seller to pay upfront — that's exactly how Verity NHD bills escrow directly on a file.
- 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.
