Resolve Camden's current resale certificate and construction files

Use Camden County Clerk's online property records for deeds, mortgages, discharges, cancellations, notices, liens, and other recorded instruments. The free basic database covers primary property documents from 1978 forward and is updated nightly, but its copies are marked unofficial. Obtain appropriate official copies for the closing file. Reconcile owner names, legal description, block and lot, deed reference, and liens with the death certificate, will, trust, Surrogate appointment, marital facts, and co-owner history. The Camden County Surrogate handles probate of wills and estate administration, including issuing letters that authorize an executor or administrator to act. Inside the City, the Construction and Building Bureau controls permits and inspections. Search roofs, additions, porches, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, water heaters, fire repairs, demolition, conversions, and unit changes. Save every permit's scope, correction notice, inspection, and final status.

Camden's current Building Bureau FAQ calls the required resale document a Camden Resale Occupancy Certificate, or C.R.O.C. It says the certificate must be applied for and issued before a sale or conveyance, the seller is responsible for applying, and a buyer may apply as the seller's agent with written permission. The issued certificate goes to the buyer. The same FAQ distinguishes a change of ownership from a change of rental occupancy, which it routes to the Housing Department. Ask the Bureau for the current C.R.O.C. application, fire-safety step, inspection scope, validity period, and address-specific treatment of open permits. Do not substitute the page's separate, optional C.C.O. instructions for the required resale process. Photograph exterior openings, roof, fire or water damage, stairs, railings, porches, basement, electrical panels, plumbing, heat, alarms, utilities, yard, debris, and contents. If rented, gather the separate rental approval, lease, deposits, notices, and possession facts. Compare a cash proposal with a listing plan after County title and Surrogate work, the C.R.O.C. process, construction-file follow-up, occupant handling, cleanout, repairs, commissions, concessions, taxes, insurance, utilities, security, and travel. Require the contract to allocate the resale application, fire-safety work, open permits, access, belongings, and reinspection risk. This precise allocation is more useful than a generic promise to buy as-is.
