Residential Rental Inspection Program
The Oakley City Council adopted the current Rental Dwelling Unit Inspection Program in October 2014 to maintain and improve the quality of life of Oakley residents residing both in and around rental property. This is accomplished by ensuring rental properties are properly maintained and situations that may bring blight upon a neighborhood are prevented.
Each year a letter is sent to all property owners who may be subject to this requirement. If you received this letter, you are required to respond and submit the Rental Verification Affidavit Registration Form. If a payment is required then it must be received by January 31st of the calendar year.
All letters are sent to the address on file with the Contra Costa County Assessor's Office. If your address has changed, it must be updated through the Contra Costa County Assessor's Office by completing a change of address form.
This program is mandatory and there will be penalties for non-compliance.
Under the Rental Inspection Program, an exterior inspection of each home will be conducted on an annual basis. To assist you in meeting required standards, a Self-Inspection Checklist is available.
For additional information, please see our Rental Inspection Program FAQ (PDF).
