Does my parcel need a Certificate of Compliance?
- You will need one if it is a requirement of a lender or buyer. Some lenders require one as a condition to lend money either in a sale or refinance.
- You do
NOT need a Certificate of Compliance if your property is a lot of a Subdivision or a parcel of a Parcel Map.
- In most cases, you will
not need a Certificate of Compliance to prove your parcel is eligible for a building permit or grant of approval for development. For the County of El Dorado's Policy on parcel eligibility see "Board of Supervisor's Policy Direction to Staff."
