It is the intent of the City to protect new property owners against undisclosed illegal construction of additions, alterations or improvements on residential property by requiring that the buyer of a residential property be provided with a Pre-Sale Inspection Report prior to the sale or exchange of the property.

PRE-SALE HOUSING REPORT 
Prior to entering into an agreement of sale for the exchange of any residential property, the owner shall obtain from the City a Pre-Sale Inspection Report showing the authorized construction, improvements, additions, use, occupancy and zoning classification of such property. Any violation(s) discovered as a result of the inspection will require correction regardless of change of ownership, or change of circumstance by the owner, owner’s agent, or other persons involved.
