Foreclosed & Defaulted Residential Properties

Registration, Inspection & Maintenance Program

The City of Oakland's Foreclosed and Defaulted Residential Properties Registration, Inspection and Maintenance Program requires owners or the beneficiary and/or trustee pursuing property foreclosure and/or their agents to register, inspect, and potentially maintain their residential properties to protect the health and safety, livability, appearance and social fabric of our neighborhoods. 

An annual registration fee of $1,967.96 is required, although this fee is waived for NOD (Notice of Default) occupied properties.  However, when the NOD occupied property changes status to NOD vacant, then a registration fee will be required.  Property status must be changed through the registry within 10 days.
