Reconcile Dublin City approvals with County and utility-district records

Use the Alameda County Assessor to identify the APN, owner display, assessment, tax facts, and legal-description clues. Continue with the County Clerk-Recorder for the vesting deed, trust transfers, liens, releases, easements, maps, declarations, and later conveyances. The County Recorder says real-property documents are indexed for public retrieval; match the deed names and legal description to the estate file and preliminary title work. Dublin Building and Safety offers online permit applications, inquiries, inspection scheduling, and inspection results or history. Search additions, garage or loft changes, accessory dwellings, patios, decks, retaining walls, pools, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, water heaters, solar, and landscape systems. The City's permit guidance identifies many common projects requiring a permit and explains that projects subject to Dublin San Ramon Services District review need a separate DSRSD submittal. Therefore, a City final may not answer every water or sewer question, and a district approval does not replace a City building final. Save each agency's application, conditions, inspections, and completion record.

Give the deed, death certificate, will, trust, court appointment, marital history, co-owner details, loans, solar documents, and association materials to suitable California estate and title professionals. Ask who can contract and which instruments must be recorded. For an HOA property, obtain declarations, amendments, architectural decisions, balances, violations, insurance, reserve or assessment notices, and transfer instructions. Photograph roofs, grading, drainage, retaining work, patios, garage changes, plumbing, electrical service, HVAC, solar equipment, irrigation, and contents. Confirm vacancy insurance, utilities, landscape care, mail, and security. Compare an as-is offer with a listing plan after title and trust or probate tasks, City and district record work, HOA charges, solar payoff or transfer, cleanout, permits, repairs, commissions, concessions, taxes, insurance, utilities, landscape care, security, and travel. Ask each buyer to state whether it accepts current contents, solar obligations, association timing, and incomplete City or DSRSD records. The written allocation shows whether a direct sale truly removes work or simply postpones it until escrow.
