Resale Inspection

The Ross Valley Fire Department requires a Resale Inspection on any single family dwelling within the Towns of Fairfax and San Anselmo.  We do not require them on condominiums or town homes, unless the complex is being sold.  There is a $50.00 fee for the inspection.  To schedule an inspection, you must come to our Administrative Offices.  Our Administrative Office hours are Monday - Friday 8:00am to 12:00pm and 1:00pm to 5:00pm.  The office is closed on weekends and holidays.

The Resale Inspection is an exterior inspection of the residence.  We do not require an appointment time to perform the inspection as we do not enter the residence.  If you would like to meet with the inspector, just let us know that at time of scheduling and we will schedule it with you.

The inspector will be looking for the following items in their inspection:
  • Maintenance of a firebreak for a distance of 30 to 100 feet or to the property line.  This includes clearance of all flammable vegetation or other combustible growth.
  • Any tree limbs extending within 10 feet of the outlet of a chimney
  • Maintain trees adjacent to or overhanging a building free of deadwood.
  • Numbers or address shall be placed in such a position as to be plainly visible and legible from the street or road fronting the property.  Such numbers shall contrast with their background and be four inches in height (Address number on curb is not acceptable).
  • Flammable vegetation cleared within 10 feet of roadway
  • A spark arrestor of heavy wire mesh or other non-combustible material with openings between 3/8 and 1/2 inch.
