During the plan review process, Development Services staff may request Residential, Farm, & Miscellaneous Building Records from the Assessor’s office to verify the age of a building or structure. This request may be due to a lack of building permit records. Once records are reviewed, staff will determine if additional permits will be required.
How to obtain Residential, Farm, & Miscellaneous Building Records:
-
Contact the Assessor’s Office at (559) 600-3534 or by e-mail at assessorWebmail@fresnocountyca.gov and request a copy of the Residential, Farm, & Miscellaneous Building Records for your property.
-
Fill out documentation required from the Assessor’s Office and follow any additional instructions requested.
In person: Go to the Fresno County Assessor counter located at the Hall of Records, 2281 Tulare Street, Room 201, Fresno, CA 93721 and ask for assistance. Counter staff will assist you with the process.
Once you receive a copy of your Residential, Farm, & Miscellaneous Building Records, provide a copy of the documents to Development Services staff for review.
NOTE: Development Services and Capital Projects Division staff is not permitted access to these records and cannot assist the public with the process. The responsibility falls to the property owner to request and obtain these records from the Assessor’s Office.
