Permits, Inspections, and Certificates of Occupancy
To prove compliance before the sale of land or developed property, sellers must provide key documents confirming that all construction and development activities were legally permitted and inspected.

• Building permits and final inspection approvals for any structures or improvements
  
• Certificate of Occupancy (CO) if the site includes habitable or operational buildings
  
• Utility connection and sign-off documents for water, sewer, and electrical services
  

Zoning and Land Use Compliance Records
Zoning verification ensures the property is used in accordance with local ordinances. These documents help reassure buyers and title companies that no violations exist.

• Zoning verification letter from the planning department
  
• Entitlement approvals such as site plans, variances, or conditional use permits (CUPs)
  
• Environmental clearance or mitigation compliance certificates if applicable
  

Tax, Title, and Legal Documentation
Buyers and lenders require proof that the property has clear title and is free of outstanding obligations or violations. These compliance records are critical during due diligence and closing.

• Up-to-date property tax statements showing no delinquencies
  
• Title report with no outstanding code enforcement liens or stop-work orders
  
• Legal survey or plat map confirming lot boundaries and easement compliance
