Web Addresses
In a previous article titled “Contact Numbers,” I provided phone numbers for homebuyers who wanted to research properties. Since many people prefer to do their research on the Web, following are addresses to helpful Web sites. In the former article I categorized phone numbers by departments, such as Planning and Development, Clerk and Recorder, Assessor, Treasurer, Public Trustee, and Environmental Health. The Web sites for the communities below have links to some of these departments.
If you do not find the information you are looking for on these Web sites, you can revisit the article on Contact Numbers on my Web site, www.BoulderBuyerAgent.com. Click on “Home Buyer’s Information” and go to the “Be(a)ware” section to find the article and obtain the phone number you need.
