> Most of California has no building codes.

Can you expand on that? My understanding was quite the opposite. https://www.dgs.ca.gov/BSC/Codes

Verified. In particular if you try to "get away from it all", you need to pay close attention to the California wildland urban interface code.

That says things like what materials are acceptable for your house, and how you have to clear brush within 100' (or to your property line) of your house.

That's so a wildfire doesn't ruin your day. They come in fast. Burning embers will rain down on you and they will travel as far as 100'.
