Before you make an offer on any of the Danville homes for sale below, check these local rules, and confirm the details for your own address with the Town or your lender. New to buying? The first-time home buyer guide is a start, and how much house you can afford helps set a range.

Below-Market-Rate Homes

Danville's below-market-rate (BMR) program serves households in the moderate, median and low income categories, as defined by the Area Median Income index. Units come up in new developments or when owners sell, and the Town's inclusionary ordinance keeps them affordable for 20 years.

The Town doesn't broker BMR units itself. It tells buyers to contact a realtor, who can search the deed-restricted units currently available, or to ask the developments' sales offices, and it lists upcoming developments with BMR units on Danville Town Talks. Our guide to Tri-Valley below-market-rate homes explains how the programs work.

Look Up the Permit History

Anyone can search the permit history for a Danville address online, with no account needed. A permit in "Issued" status means the Town authorized the construction described. If an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) was never approved, Danville's ordinance says it may be legalized, if it meets the ordinance's requirements, once the owner fixes any deficiencies found in a life/safety inspection by the Town Building Division. Ask the Town how this applies to a specific home.

Short-Term Rentals

Danville lists short-term rentals as a prohibited use in its single-family residential districts. If you are buying as an investment, confirm the zoning for that address first.

Fire Zones

The San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District serves Danville and said it would not add any areas to the State Fire Marshal's maps. A property's current zone can be searched by address on the State Fire Marshal's site, and the seller's Natural Hazard Disclosure states whether the home is in a high or very high fire hazard severity zone.

New Construction

A new subdivision lot under a Mello-Roos special tax comes with a written Notice of Special Tax, which you must receive and sign before you sign a purchase contract. You then have three days (handed to you) or five (mailed) to cancel in writing. Our new-construction checklist, written for San Ramon buyers, lists what to review.

Start with a free home valuation for your address. Weighing timing? Read the signs it's time to sell a Tri-Valley home. Before listing, see which renovations pay off. If an appraisal comes in low, the low appraisal guide covers your options.
