Abandoned Residential Property Registration.

Foreclosures are increasing in number and those that are vacant are having a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood and community as a whole. The City of La Puente has adopted an Abandoned and Distressed Property Registration Program to deal with the significant rise in bank foreclosures. The fee for registration of each abandoned property is $100 and the registration is valid for one calendar year. The property must be posted with the name and 24-hour contact number of the company responsible for the weekly inspection, maintenance and security of the property. It is hoped that the combination of observant neighbors and an accessible local responsible party will deter any potential deterioration of the property and thus preserve the neighborhood. If you have any questions please contact Community Preservation at (626) 855-1500. Registration documents are located under the Forms tab.
