Steps
What are the steps to sell a house in Tujunga?
1. Price
Ask for a value opinion on your Tujunga address from recent sales of similar slope, lot, size and condition, not a community-wide median.
2. Records
Order the LADBS building records and print the ZIMAS profile, so sheds, studios and second units are explained before buyers ask.
3. Disclosures
Order the Natural Hazard Disclosure early, and clear brush and gather inspection records if the parcel is in the Very High zone.
4. Agreement
Read the written listing agreement for scope, term and fee before anything is marketed.
5. Offers
Compare written offers on net proceeds after the County and City transfer taxes, loan strength, contingencies and close date.
6. Escrow
Inspections, appraisal and title clear in escrow; the deed then records with the County Registrar-Recorder.
Fees
What does listing service cost in Tujunga?
- 2.5%Essential
- 3%Full Service
- 3.5%Signature
Each tier is listing-side pay set in the written agreement. The amount or rate of real estate commissions is not fixed by law. They are set by each broker individually and may be negotiable between the seller and broker. A larger fee does not mean a larger price.
Local rules
Which City rules can affect a Tujunga sale?
City permits and zoning
Tujunga has been part of the City of Los Angeles since 1932, so building records come from LADBS and zoning from LA City Planning. The ZIMAS parcel profile shows zoning, any Specific Plan and the fire-zone line. Sidney Manzo, in real estate since 1990, pulls both before pricing. Source
Brush clearance
In the City's Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, LAFD requires brush, weeds and grass to be kept cleared within 200 feet of structures year-round (L.A.M.C. 57.4906.5.2). For such a parcel, Civil Code 1102.19 in most cases also calls for defensible space documentation at sale, or a written buyer agreement to obtain it. Source
Transfer tax
The County documentary transfer tax is $1.10 per $1,000 of value, and the City of Los Angeles adds $2.25 per $500. Measure ULA adds 4% on sales over $5,400,000 and under $10,900,000, and 5.5% at $10,900,000 or more, for transactions closing after June 30, 2026, per the Office of Finance (checked October 15, 2026). Ask your escrow officer or a real estate attorney who pays the transfer tax under your purchase contract. Source
Market
What is selling in Tujunga like?
Tujunga sits between the Verdugo Hills and the San Gabriel Mountains. LA Recreation and Parks' history of Bolton Hall records that its first settlers bought acre and half-acre lots in 1913, which is why lot sizes and street patterns are uneven today. Foothill Boulevard is the commercial spine, governed by the Foothill Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan, and residential streets climb north toward Big Tujunga Canyon Road. Slope, lot size and what the LADBS record shows are the main price drivers.
Nearby
How is Tujunga different from La Crescenta and Montrose?
They share the foothills but not the paperwork. Tujunga is in the City of Los Angeles, so permits come from LADBS, zoning from LA City Planning, and the City adds its own transfer tax. La Crescenta and Montrose are unincorporated LA County, with County permits and only the County transfer tax. Comparable sales should stay on the same side of that line, because buyers price the costs and rules that come with it.
Preparation
How should I prepare a Tujunga home for sale?
Start with the LADBS record and a pre-listing inspection, with a sewer camera on older homes. On hillside lots, clear brush if the parcel is in the Very High zone and document drainage and retaining walls; LA County Public Works maps debris basins, including Blanchard, Zachau and Denivelle, at canyon mouths in the Tujunga foothills, and buyers ask about storm flow. If the property is a rental built on or before October 1, 1978, ask the LA Housing Department whether the Rent Stabilization Ordinance applies.
Community
Who speaks for Tujunga at City Hall?
The Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Council, set up in 2003 under the City's neighborhood council system, advises City departments and posts its agendas at North Valley City Hall, 7747 Foothill Boulevard. Decisions on zoning and permits stay with the City. Los Angeles Unified serves the area, including Verdugo Hills High School at 10625 Plainview Avenue; school assignment is set by address through LAUSD's Resident School Identifier.
