The 10 business days begin once the City has a complete application, which includes the signed Consent to Inspect form and payment. Count those days backward from when you expect to review offers, and leave room for a weekend or a holiday. Because the completed report has to reach the buyer before the agreement of sale is signed, filing before you list keeps the report from holding up a good offer."},{"q":"Does a condo or a newer home in Azusa need an RPRR?","a":"No. The City of Azusa says filing an RPRR is no longer required for condominiums, planned unit developments, townhomes, units within a homeowners association, or single-family residences built after December 31, 2000. Those exceptions come from Ordinance 2023-03, which amended Azusa Municipal Code section 14-331. The same section also exempts the first sale of buildings in a subdivision whose final map was recorded not more than two years before that sale, and buildings acquired or conveyed by the City. If you are unsure of your home's build year, check your property records and confirm with the Community Improvement Division before you list."},{"q":"Can I accept an offer before the Azusa RPRR is done?","a":"Plan not to. Under Azusa Municipal Code section 14-326, as the City describes it, the completed report is delivered to the buyer before the agreement of sale is signed, and the buyer signs a City receipt that goes back to the Community Improvement Division as evidence of compliance. That makes the report a step that comes before your purchase contract, not one you finish during escrow. If an offer arrives early, talk with your agent and a California attorney about how to handle the timing. Ordering the report before the home goes on the market avoids the question entirely."},{"q":"Where do I get the Azusa RPRR application?","a":"The RPRR is handled by the City of Azusa's Community Improvement Division at 213 E. Foothill Blvd., Azusa, CA 91702. The City lists office hours of Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., a phone number of 626-812-5265 and the email communityimprovement@azusaca.gov, and its RPRR page links to an online application. The owner or the owner's authorized representative obtains the application, so your agent can help you gather it. Submit the signed Consent to Inspect form and payment with the application, since the City of Azusa's processing time starts only when the package is complete."},{"q":"Is the Azusa RPRR a home inspection or a warranty?","a":"No. The City of Azusa says issuing the report is not a warranty or representation that the property or its use complies with the law, and that anyone receiving it should independently verify the information before relying on it. The report reflects the City's records and its inspection, not the condition of the roof, plumbing or systems a buyer's own home inspector will look at. A buyer can still order their own inspections during escrow. Read the report when it arrives, ask the City about anything it flags, and share it with your agent so your pricing and plans reflect what it says."}],"body":"Sidney Manzo, CA DRE #01108914, can review this property.

Before you sign a sale agreement, because the buyer receives the completed report first. The City of Azusa says that, under Azusa Municipal Code section 14-326, the owner or an authorized representative obtains the RPRR application before entering into an agreement of sale. The completed report is delivered to the buyer before the agreement is signed, and the buyer signs a receipt furnished by the City that goes back to the Community Improvement Division. The City allows up to 10 business days to process the application, inspect and issue the report, counted from a complete application with the signed Consent to Inspect form and payment.\n\nWhich Azusa homes are exempt from the RPRR? Condominiums, townhomes, PUD and HOA units, and single-family homes built after December 31, 2000. The City of Azusa says Ordinance 2023-03 amended Azusa Municipal Code section 14-331. Besides those home types, the section exempts the first sale of buildings in a subdivision whose final map was recorded not more than two years before that sale, certain mobilehomes and trailers on rented land, and buildings acquired or conveyed by the City. Rules as of October 28, 2026.\n\nHow much does an Azusa RPRR cost? The City of Azusa lists $272 for a single-family dwelling. The same fee table lists $272 for vacant or unimproved land and for commercial property, and $272 per parcel plus $15 per unit for a multi-family dwelling. Confirm the current fee with the Community Improvement Division when you apply, and pay it with the application so the City's processing time can start.\n\nWhat does the RPRR mean for my sale? It is a records report you hand the buyer, not a home inspection or a guarantee. The City of Azusa says the report is not a warranty that the property complies with the law and that recipients should verify its information independently. Read it as soon as it arrives so anything it flags can be addressed in your pricing or your plan to sell the home as-is in Azusa . Sidney Manzo can help you file the RPRR early and fit it into your listing timeline. See the Azusa city guide for local context, or book a time to talk with Sidney ."}
