Selling a home? The Fire Code requires the Seller to provide Buyers with a certificate of compliance with all real estate transactions. To obtain a certificate of compliance, you must first abate any exterior hazards.  

Please visit the abatement webpage for a complete list of requirements.

Once the parcel has been brought into compliance, see below for the instructions on how to request a Certificate of Compliance.  The Seller or Realtor can use the self-report function (free) or can request an in-person inspection (fee applies) by submitting a request via the on-line portal.   Please see our fee schedule for the Property Sale or Transfer Inspection fee.

Please be informed:

  1. Obtaining a Certificate of Compliance is approximately two to three weeks.
  2. The Certificate of Compliance is valid for 90 days from the date of being issued.
