What is a resale report? How do I obtain one? What are the methods of payment? What is required?

A Resale Inspection is an exterior inspection of the residence to ensure compliance with state law and local ordinances, specifically related to Defensible Space, although other hazards may be noted or require correction.  A Ross Valley Fire Department Resale Inspection is required for homes sold in Ross, San Anselmo, and Fairfax.  Inspections are not required for the sale of a single townhome or condo. We do not require an appointment to perform the inspection as we do not enter the residence.

To schedule a Resale Inspection, please submit the online Resale Inspection application, or visit our administrative office at 804 San Anselmo Ave San Anselmo, California 94960 during business hours Monday - Thursday 8:00am-11:00am. The cost of a Resale Inspection is $190 and is due upon submission of the online Resale Inspection application. We accept credit cards online via Square, or cash or check if paying in-person.

To see specific requirements that the Fire Inspector will be checking for, please visit the Resale Inspection Page.
