Butte County · probate matters for the entire county
Use the Probate Division for county probate matters and estate court filings. Its countywide role is a routing point, not a decision about authority to sell a particular house.
North Butte County Courthouse, 1775 Concord Avenue, Chico, CA 95928 · Probate Division: (530) 532-7017.
City of Chico · check that the property is inside city limits
Contact Code Enforcement about City code-enforcement complaints, including the City’s substandard-housing and vacant-property work. Use the address and any notice when asking what applies to the property.
City of Chico · permits and inspection information
Use the Building Division’s information route for City permit and inspection questions. It does not establish a sale-specific inspection result.
California counties charge $0.55 for each $500 of taxable consideration, or fraction of $500, when the consideration is over $100, excluding any lien or loan that remains on the property after the sale. That is $1.10 per $1,000. A city may receive half of the county rate as a credited share, while some cities charge an additional transfer tax. The county recorder collects the tax when the deed is recorded. The amount and any city tax depend on the property and transaction, so ask the title company or escrow to confirm the taxable amount and applicable local rules before comparing your net.
The written agreement can allocate the tax cost between buyer and seller. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

The City publishes a City Limits Map through its GIS pages. Check the property address on the City map before contacting a City department; a Chico mailing address alone does not establish the property’s municipal jurisdiction.
