Your Daly City sale decision
Obtain the Daly City report before committing to a sale
For a covered Daly City property, the 3R process affects when a sale agreement can be made. Confirm the report requirement and compare its findings with the house before deciding how to handle unverified work.
Selling as-is to HouseResolve
Provide the 3R and improvement history so HouseResolve can review the property with the required information available.
Preparing for a listing

Practical answers before you sign an agreement.
Verify address-specific requirements with the office responsible for the property.
Is a Daly City 3R a physical home inspection?
No. The city says the report is based on municipal records and is not a physical inspection or a representation of legal compliance.
Can the residential report replace a permit-file search?
No. Review the report, then investigate permit dates, inspection outcomes, older work, and enforcement entries that matter to your address.
Where should I obtain Daly City title documents?
Use the San Mateo County Clerk-Recorder for recorded title instruments. The city's 3R, permit, and code files answer municipal questions.
City property guide for Daly City property owners
Residential-report, permit, and code-file guidance for Daly City sellers
The Residential Requirements Report required for many small residences should be ordered early in a time-sensitive Daly City sale. The report covers city information such as legal use, permit history, and enforcement or zoning records, but the city explains that it is not a physical inspection or a representation of compliance. You should pair that report with your own permit and code-case review. San Mateo County remains the source for deeds and other recorded title documents. Keeping these records distinct helps your buyer understand what the city searched and what still requires separate verification.
First, determine whether your property falls within Daly City's 3R program for residences containing three units or fewer. The city requires the owner to obtain the report before entering an agreement of sale for a covered property. Order it using the exact address and review every section when it arrives. Daly City says the report includes permit information after 1989, enforcement and zoning history, and the legal use shown in city records. It also says the document is not a physical inspection and does not represent that the property complies with applicable laws. Treat it as a municipal record summary, not as a guarantee about condition or approval.
Use Daly City's permit resources to examine additions, converted rooms, decks, structural changes, roofs, electrical work, plumbing, and heating equipment. Compare those records with the 3R and the house itself. Then ask Code Enforcement for the current status of any cited address-level matter. If an older project predates the period described in the report or a case appears unresolved, request the relevant city file rather than guessing from the summary. Your documentation should identify the permit, inspection, or case number that supports your conclusion.
For ownership and encumbrance questions, use the San Mateo County Clerk-Recorder. The county records deeds, mortgages, liens, releases, and other instruments affecting title. Those documents do not prove Daly City approved construction or that a code case was closed. Likewise, a 3R does not clear a recorded lien. Keep the city report, permit chronology, enforcement response, and county instruments in labeled sections. You can then decide whether to seek a municipal correction, collect older records, or disclose the verified status without overstating what any single source establishes.
