Sink or Swim? Check with City Planning or NO?

Before you sell check with your California County or city
But decide first do you want to make this public information?

to see if there are restrictions regarding
Planning, safety, Permits, Lack of Permits, Health issues

Not asking in advance could cause disclosure problems,  hiccups at closing and liability.
If the home has un-permitted additions
some cities may force the homeowner
to revert to original.
Ask your Realtor what's the right decision

Here is a list of California cities and county planning contacts which may not include
all of them.
For example residents in Moss Beach found, though unincorporated, appointed Design Review members take interpreting the law into their own hands. They may force residents to take down structures which are built to code years ago.

Better to know before you buy or sell.
Note BEFORE you call or ask consider ---
Do you want them to snoop about the address?
