Finding the floor plans for a property I'm currently flipping

[Miguel Martinez]

Hello BP members!

I'm currently flipping a property in Southern California, Inland Empire. My General contractor already did a walk through of the property and he concluded that there are structures and converted spaces that aren't supposed be there. The issue is, how do we find out what was supposed to be there? I took a trip down to my local tax assessors office and planning department, but they gave me the usual run-around of applications, signatures, fees, 30 working business days etc. just to get a copy of the floor plans. Fellow BP members, any advice on how to get a copy of the floor plans for my property without having to take a dreaded trip down to city hall again?

Best regards,

Miguel
