Your Midvale sale decision
Price the house around its documented use and present condition
A requested inspection is not a passed inspection, especially for altered basement use. Match the final outcome to the actual living arrangement before comparing values.
Selling as-is to HouseResolve
If an internal accessory unit is involved, connect its building and occupancy approvals with the required recorded notice. Ask the offer to assign any unfinished City or title step explicitly; an inspection-request receipt alone is not a completed inspection.
Preparing for a listing
Resolve the internal-unit approval and recorded-notice sequence before advertising rental potential. Budget the actual missing inspection or document, and confirm that an inspection was completed rather than merely requested.
Useful details to gather
For an internal accessory unit, match Midvale permits and occupancy approval to the recorded notice.
An as-is cash sale can reduce preparation and financing uncertainty. A listing may produce a higher price if you have time to prepare and market the home. Compare your expected proceeds after payoffs, agreed costs, and continued ownership expenses, along with the work and timing each route requires.

Practical answers before you sign an agreement.
Verify address-specific requirements with the office responsible for the property.
Does Midvale require permits for ordinary replacement projects?
The city specifically lists siding, reroofing, windows, water heaters, and furnaces among projects requiring building permits and inspections.
What title record can accompany a Midvale internal accessory unit?
Under the city's 2024 ordinance, the owner records a notice against title before the unit receives its certificate of occupancy.
Who maintains Midvale chain-of-title information?
Salt Lake County's Recorder provides property-data services covering recorded documents, legal descriptions, tract indexes, parcel history, and chain of title.
City property guide for Midvale property owners
Inspection-request and internal-accessory-unit record guidance
Separate permit and inspection records, plus the recorded notice for an internal accessory dwelling unit, can affect a Midvale sale. An internal accessory dwelling unit can add a recorded title notice under the city's 2024 ordinance before its certificate of occupancy is issued. Salt Lake County, rather than Midvale City, maintains deeds, liens, legal descriptions, plats, and chain-of-title data. Reconcile those three records before you describe finished space or compare a written as-is cash offer with a conventional sale.
Start with Midvale Building and Safety's unusually specific project list. Compare the house with permits for new construction, additions, basement finishes, remodeling, siding, reroofing, window replacement, water-heater replacement, and furnace replacement. The city requires permit applications and inspection requests to be submitted online, and an inspection request needs the permit number, address, and inspection type. Build a row for each project showing application, issuance, inspections, and completion evidence. Do not mistake the first email acknowledging an inspection request for the later confirmation that the inspection was actually scheduled or completed.
If the property contains an internal accessory dwelling unit, review it separately from an ordinary finished basement. Midvale's 2024 ordinance requires a building permit before construction activity on such a unit and requires the owner to record a notice against the title before a certificate of occupancy is issued. The notice describes the primary dwelling, states that the property contains the unit, and ties its use to city requirements. Compare the unit's permit and occupancy documents with the title record. If the space is simply finished living area, avoid calling it an approved accessory unit without an address-specific city response.
Use the Salt Lake County Recorder for the ownership side. Its property-data services include owner of record, parcel-number history, legal descriptions, recorded documents, tract index, chain of title, subdivision maps, and plat maps. Ask your title professional which entries matter to this sale, especially any accessory-unit notice, deed, trust deed release, lien, or plat. Then decide whether you need a city inspection follow-up, a narrower description of the lower level, or time for a document correction. A written as-is cash offer may limit requested repairs, but its title, inspection, cancellation, fee, and timing clauses still control how these Midvale records affect closing.
