Conditional Public Reports
Under California B&P Code §11018.12(d), a person may sell or
lease, or offer for sale or lease, lots or parcels in a subdivision
pursuant to a conditional public report if, as a condition of the
sale or lease, delivery of legal title or other interest contracted
for will not take place until issuance of a final public report and
other specified conditions are satisfied. §11018.12(f) requires a
subdivider or principal to provide a prospective purchaser with a
copy of the conditional public report and a written statement with
certain specified information.
Section 11018.12(h) provides that the term of a conditional public
report shall not exceed 6 months, but the report may be renewed for
one additional six-month period if the Commissioner determines
that the requirements for issuance of a public report are likely to
be satisfied during the renewal term.
Section 11018.12(i) provides that the term of a conditional public report for attached residential condominium units, as defined
pursuant to Section 783 of the Civil Code, consisting of 25 units
or more as specified on the approved tentative tract map, shall not
exceed 30 months and may be renewed for one additional term of
six months if the commissioner determines that the requirements
for issuance of a public report are likely to be satisfied during the
renewal term.
In addition to the items required for a final public report, an applicant for a conditional public report should submit:
for use in sales conducted under authority of the conditional
public report.
I.
Who Must Apply
This application must be filed and a subdivision public report
must be obtained before offering for sale or lease, in California,
five or more interests in a common interest subdivision. (See
Section 11000 et seq., of the Business and Professions Code
for further details.)
II.
The Application (RE 624)
•
A. Part I — Instructions
Part I is instructions to the applicant on how to complete
the form. Detach Part I before submitting the remainder.
Retain Part I for your reference.
You are encouraged to obtain and use the Subdivision
Public Report Application Guide (SPRAG). See page 5
for information about SPRAG.
B. Part II — Index/Quantitative Deficiency Notice
(c) Exemplar sales agreements and escrow instructions designed
RE 624 Part I
Part II has three distinct functions and uses:
1. The applicant uses Part II to determine which documents are required for a “minimum filing package”
and for a “substantially complete application.”
2. The applicant also uses Part II as an index for tabbing documents which are being submitted with the
application.
3. The Department of Real Estate uses Part II as a
“quantitative deficiency notice” to communicate
what further documentation, if any, is required of the
applicant for a substantially complete application.
After receiving a quantitative deficiency notice, all additional documents required in a substantially complete
application must be submitted together, at one time, with
the deficiency notice on top. If documentation is submitted
piecemeal, it will be returned.
C. Part III — Questionnaire
Part III contains questions about the subdivision project
and requests that various kinds of supporting documentation, as applicable, be submitted.
Answer all questions. If an item is not applicable, mark
it NA.
If you do not understand a question, please consult SPRAG,
or contact your title company, your attorney or the Department.
If you cannot answer a question because your project plans
are not finalized, do not leave the question unanswered;
do not submit your application until your plans are finalized.
(a) The required fee;
(b) A statement identifying the information required for issuance
of the final public report which is not to be available when the
conditional public report is issued and specifying why that
information will not be available at the time of issuance of
the conditional public report; and

D. Project Narrative
III.
If the project for which a Notice of Intention is being
submitted has unusual or noteworthy aspects, processing
of the submittal may be considerably simplified, and processing time thus shortened, if a cover letter is included
which describes the offering and highlights the unusual
or noteworthy aspects thereof.
included in the substantially complete application.)
•
IV. All Documents Must Be Tabbed/Hole-Punched
In order to efficiently process the application file, we require
that all incoming documents, including those submitted after the
original submittal, be tabbed with the item numbers shown in
Part II, column one. Use heavy stock or fabric tabs, not plastic
or paper tabs. Each tab must show the document’s precise item
number.
Place the tabs on the right side of the documents. Do not place
them all in the same location, but stagger them up and down
the right-side page edges. Do not place tabs on the upper two
inches of the documents.
The entire submittal package must be hole-punched as shown
in Figure B on page 10.
Methods of Filing for Final Public Reports
When applying for a final public report, submit a minimum
filing package (MFP) or a substantially complete application
(SCA).
A. Minimum Filing Package (MFP)
The Department will accept an application filing only if
all of the following requirements are met:
• the filing fee is submitted
• the Index (Part II) is completed
• the Questionnaire (Part III) is completed
• all documents submitted are legible, tabbed with the
appropriate item number, and hole-punched
• the required documents are submitted
The Department requires that all original applications
include a minimum amount of supporting documentation
in order to be accepted. This requirement is met by submitting all documents requested by those questions of Parts II
and III that are marked with an asterisk (*). If a question
does not apply, mark it NA. However, if an asterisked
question does apply, you must submit the documentation
indicated.
A preliminary public report can also be processed, if
requested, after a minimum filing package is submitted.
There is not statutory time limit regarding issuance of a
preliminary public report. However, no further processing
of a minimum filing package for a final public report will
occur until the filing is substantially complete.
• Do not hole-punch original public report drafts or
maps.
• Do not staple management documents together. They
may be fastened by ACCO fastener.
V.
No other processing of a minimum filing package for a
final public report will occur until the filing is substantially
complete.
If MFP requirements are met, the DRE will accept the
filing as a Notice Of Intention and will continue processing to determine if the filing is a substantially complete
application.
Note: • Be sure to tab and hole-punch any documents submitted
after the initial submittal of the application.
If the minimum filing package requirements are not met,
the application and filing fee will be returned.
B. Substantially Complete Application (SCA)
A substantially complete application includes:
• A minimum filing package
• Most other documentation required for the issuance of
a final public report. (Matching answers in columns
two and three of Part II will indicate what is to be
RE 624 Part I
A duplicate budget package with duplicate copies
of materials related to the homeowners’ association
budget.
Application Processing
Substantially complete applications are processed on a firstcome first-served basis. Under the legislative time frames in
Business and Professions Code Section 11010.2, the Department will complete the initial review to verify that the filing
is substantially complete within 10 days. Within 60 days after
the file is determined to be substantially complete, a qualitative
deficiency notice showing legal, budget and other deficiencies
will be sent. The comprehensive response to the qualitative
deficiency submitted by the “single responsible party” will be
reviewed within 30 days after receipt thereof at DRE. After
all corrections are made and final documents (e.g., recorded
documents, bonds, etc.) are submitted, i.e., when the file is
“perfected,” the final public report will be issued within 15
days.
VI. Filing Fees
See Subdivision Filing Fees (RE 605).
VII. Where to File Your Application

applications for subdivisions being developed in certain counties

XIV. Duplicate Budget Package
A substantially complete application must include a duplicate
budget package (DBP). All items included in the DBP are
duplicates of items in the main file, except RE 681. These

tion by Deputies and of the budget by DRE’s Budget Review
Section.
The duplicate budget package must be submitted complete,
with all documents included. Do not submit the duplicate
budget package until all required documents are included.
If the filing is a subsequent phase (or map) in a phased or
multiple-map project, certain items may be deleted from the
duplicate budget package for the subsequent phase (or map).
However, any pages from the below-listed doc ments, which
u
show changes must be submitted with the changes red-lined.
Obviously, any item which was not included in the phase one
(Master File) duplicate budget package may not be deleted,
even if it is among the items listed.
Items which might be deleted include: (Note: These items
may be deleted from the subsequent phase duplicate budget
package only. See Part II, page 1, Use of Master File, relative
to subsequent phase application package preparation.)
The duplicate budget package is not required as part of the
minimum filing package, but it is required for a substantially
complete application.
The DBP is to be set up as follows:

Each map of a multiple-map project may itself be developed in phases (See Example 3).
XVI. Receipt for Public Report — Regulation 2795.1
Each prospective purchaser must be given a copy of the public
report for which a receipt must be completed and retained for
three years. A Receipt for Public Report or California Permit
(RE 614E) shall be used by the owner/subdivider (or agent).
(Refer to Figure D on page 12.) A copy of RE 614E will be
provided when the public report is issued.
The receipt is to be kept on file by the subdivider (or the agent)
for three (3) years.
Note:
Regulation 2795.1(a) states “A receipt on the form specified herein shall be taken by or on behalf of the subdivider
from each person executing a reservation agreement under authority of a preliminary public report and from each
person who has made a written offer to purchase or lease a
subdivision interest under authority of a final subdivision
public report.”
Subdivision (b) of Regulation 2795.1 provides that the
receipt shall be retained for a period of three years from
the date of the receipt and shall be available for inspection
by DRE during regular business hours.
Section 11018.1 of the Business and Professions Code stipulates
when, and to whom, the subdivider or the subdivider’s agents
or salespersons must give copies of the public report:
Prospective Purchaser to Receive Report
§11018.1.(a) A copy of the public report of the commissioner, when issued, shall be given to the prospective
purchaser by the owner, subdivider or agent prior to the
execution of a binding contract or agreement for the sale
or lease of any lot or parcel in a subdivision. The requirement of this section extends to lots or parcels offered by
the subdivider after repossession. A receipt shall be taken
from the prospective purchaser in a form and manner as
set forth in the regulations of the Real Estate Commissioner.
(b) A copy of the public report shall be given by the owner,
Page 6 of 11
American LegalNet, Inc.
www.FormsWorkflow.com
subdivider or agent at any time, upon oral or written request,
to any member of the public. A copy of the public report
and a statement advising that a copy of the public report
may be obtained from the owner, subdivider or agent at
any time, upon oral or written request, shall be posted in
a conspicuous place at any office where sales or leases
or offers to sell or lease lots within the subdivision are
regularly made.
XVII. Regulations Regarding Use of Public Report
Interests in a subdivision shall not be offered for sale or lease
until the Real Estate Commissioner’s final or conditional public
report thereon has been issued, nor shall a deposit be accepted
on, or an agreement of sale or lease be executed for, any interest
in the subdivision until a copy of the final or conditional public
report thereon has been given to the prospective purchaser and
a receipt taken therefor.
Each purchaser’s signed receipt for a copy of the final public
report shall be kept on file in the possession of the owner/
subdivider (or agent) of the subdivision for three (3) years
subject to inspection at any reasonable time by the Real Estate
Commissioner or his representatives.
No public report shall be used for advertising purposes unless
the report is used in its entirety, nor shall any person advertise
or represent that the Department of Real Estate or the Commissioner approves or recommends the subdivision project
or sale thereof. No portion of the report shall be underscored,
italicized or printed in larger or heavier type than the balance
of the report unless the report issued by the Commissioner is
so emphasized.
Sale of a subdivision interest by the owner, agent or subdivider
after its repossession shall be considered an original sale, and
a copy of the public report shall be given to the purchaser as
in the case of the original sale.
The owner, subdivider or agent shall immediately furnish data
in writing to the Commissioner on any new condition or development in the subdivision being offered for sale. (See Section
2800 of the Commissioner’s Regulations for an enumeration
of material changes that may require amended subdivision
public reports.)
If the owner of the subdivision options or sells five or more
interests to another, such option or sale shall constitute a
material change within the meaning of Section 11012 of the
California Business and Professions Code, and such owner shall
immediately notify the Real Estate Commissioner in writing
of such option or sale. A purchaser of five or more interests
is under obligation to obtain an amended public report before
reselling. (See Regulation 2801.5 for further definition of
“Subdivider.”)
When the interest conveyed to purchasers consists of a sublease or lease assignment, the owner, subdivider or agent of
the subdivider shall deliver to each purchaser a copy of the
original lease and any and all modifications, extensions and assignments upon which the interest to be conveyed is based.
The proposed further division of any interest in the subdivision
RE 624 Part I
must be reported to the Real Estate Commissioner pursuant to
Section 11012 and/or 11018.7 of the Business and Professions
Code. (Also, see Regulation 2800.)
A division of any interest in the subdivision into five or more
interests may constitute a new subdivision as defined by Section 11000 et seq. of the Business and Professions Code and a
separate final public report may be required for that offering.
Note: All sections of the Business and Professions Code and the
Commissioner's Regulations (California Code of Regulations) mentioned herein can be found in the Real Estate
Law Book.
Review of Sections 11000 through 11200 of the Business
and Professions Code and Regulations 2790 through 2822
may be of benefit to you.
XVIII. Documents to be Delivered
Pursuant to Section 11018.6 of the Business and Professions
Code, the subdivider of a common interest subdivision must
make certain documents available to prospective purchasers
prior to entering into a purchase contract:
§11018.6. Any person offering to sell or lease any interest subject to the requirements of subdivision (a) of Section 11018.1
(B&P Code) in a subdivision described in Section 11004.5
shall make a copy of each of the following documents available
for examination by a prospective purchaser or lessee before
the execution of an offer to purchase or lease and shall give a
copy thereof to each purchaser or lessee as soon as practicable
before transfer of the interest being acquired by the purchaser
or lessee:
(a) The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions
for the subdivision.
(b) Articles of Incorporation or Association for the subdivision
owners association.
(c) Bylaws for the subdivision owners association.
(d) Any other instrument which establishes or defines the
common, mutual, and reciprocal rights, and responsibilities of the owners or lessees of interests in the subdivision
as shareholders or members of the subdivision owners
association or otherwise.
(e) To the extent available, the current financial statement and
related statements specified in Section 1365 of the Civil
Code, for subdivisions subject to those provisions.
(f) A statement prepared by the governing body of the association setting forth the outstanding delinquent assessments
and related charges levied by the association against the
subdivision interests in question under authority of the
governing instruments for the subdivision and association.
Owners of interests in common interest subdivisions must
provide essentially the same documents to potential purchasers
(resales) pursuant to Section 1368 of the Civil Code.

return to you of the entire sum of money paid or advanced by you if you are dissatisfied with the final public report
