Pleasant Hill has no extra city transfer tax, only Contra Costa County's. There's no ordinance requiring a sewer lateral certificate in Pleasant Hill, however a sewer lateral inspection is recommended. The City does ask for one form of its own: a time-of-sale weatherization disclosure, a short checklist of energy items like attic insulation, weatherstripping, and an insulated water heater, which the buyer returns to the City after closing. Most of Pleasant Hill is not in a state fire hazard severity zone, but it is worth checking the address; a home in the small High zone on the city's west edge adds a routine defensible space inspection. My Pleasant Hill home selling page explains the steps.

Homeowners move on for all kinds of reasons including (but not limited to): upsizing to a second or third home, divorce, relocating for work, or the passing of a family member.
