https://common1.mptsweb.com/megabytecommonsite/(S(cbeeeqlffcmgkblsnqapbbgl))/PublicInquiry/Inquiry.aspx?CN=sonoma&Dept=Asr&Site=Public&PG=Search You can look up by the parcel’s APN or address and get basic info.
http://prmd.sonoma-county.org/permit_history_lookup.aspx?sid=1015 You can review a property by address or APN for it’s permit history. It will show all recorded violations and current status.
