Official records
Records that help for a Westlake Village home
For a Westlake Village home, the first question is the parcel's jurisdiction. The city's Building and Safety page explains that Los Angeles County holds building and safety records for the city, with some copies available through the County Building Permit Viewer, and that City Hall is not the custodian. Start at the city's Building and Safety page.
A record of past work helps an appraiser understand additions and repairs. A missing record is not a valuation conclusion, and an appraisal is not a certificate that a building meets code.

"I found Randy online without a referral of any kind. After discussing my project here in Pacific Palisades on the phone with Randy, I knew right away that he was the right guy for the job. Randy quickly started work on my appraisal. His research on the conditions of the market and research of comparable homes has given me excellent documentation for my home....I feel very content and satisfied with his evaluation. I might add also; Randy is not only a very educated pro at appraisals , but he is also very personalable,very kind , and very respectful. Thank you Randy... I look forward to working with you on future projects."
