Resources
Below are some of the resources I use in my work:
City of Newport Beach Building Permits by Address (link)
City of Newport Beach Mapping (link). This is an exhustive set of maps with many overlays, such as zoning, boat docks, bulkhead lines, elevation contours and recent aerial photos.
Newport Beach Harbor Resources Division. Tom Rossmiller, manager. This is the authoritative source for boat dock issues and any other harbor isssues (eel grass, etc) Phone 949/644-3041; email: trossmiller@city.newport-beach.ca.us.
Orange County Assessor's Office (link). This office is one of the best sources of current home size, including room additions and expansions. At present, no outsided source is buying their updated information; what is available elsewhere (RealLink, etc.) is hopelessly outdated. They charge $6 per single-family home/garage. This office is also the access point to the Mapping Division, which can resolve site size/subdivision issues (many site sizes are incorrectly reported in outside sources). The reports are available by mail or on-the-spot at their office. The staff is very helpful. Other information, such as property tax reduction due to declining value, is available at the home site.
