Navigating Santa Cruz Property Laws & Unexpected Costs

Selling a home in Santa Cruz often involves navigating a complex web of California real estate laws. From disclosure requirements outlined in California Civil Code 2924 to local city ordinances, staying compliant can be daunting. If you've inherited a home, understanding the probate process can be especially tricky. We can simplify this for you, even if the property is a vacant home or an asset tied up in a complex estate.

Property taxes in Santa Cruz County are overseen by Assessor-Recorder Sean D. Donnelly, and utility services are primarily provided by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). Unexpected repairs or accumulated bills can quickly erode your equity, making a fast, guaranteed sale a financially prudent choice.

Water Damage Remediation	$2,000 - $15,000+

Costs are estimates and can vary significantly based on the extent of damage and local labor rates.
