Berkeley Final Records: Signed Job Cards and Occupancy Certificates
Separate Berkeley’s approved final inspection from the signed job card or separate occupancy certificate, then use the correct record-era request route.
City & County Guides
These jurisdiction-specific guides identify the city, county, or related agency that maintains building permit records and link to the relevant official government page or agency-authorized portal. Begin with the guide for the property jurisdiction, not only the city name in the mailing address, because incorporated and unincorporated areas can use different permitting authorities.
Each guide explains confirmed search inputs, portal steps, available record coverage, and a recovery path when results are missing or older records are offline. Use the Official Sources Directory when you are unsure which agency owns the record. Compare the property address with jurisdiction maps or parcel records when the guide identifies a boundary issue, and note whether the official source routes older files to an archive, microfilm desk, or public-records request. Portal availability and historical coverage can change, so review the stated verification date and follow the linked agency instructions. A search result alone does not establish code compliance, final approval, safety, or the current condition of a property.
