What West Sacramento homeowners should know
West Sacramento sits directly across the Sacramento River from downtown Sacramento, and unlike the rest of the metro, it’s in Yolo County, not Sacramento County. It formed as a city on January 1, 1987, from three older communities: Broderick and Bryte along the river, dating back to the Gold Rush and early 1900s, and the newer Southport area, which added most of its housing during booms in the 1990s and 2000s. The city sits at the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers behind an extensive levee system, and flooding has been a recurring risk historically, with major storm events in 1986, 1997 and the 1998 El Niño season causing significant levee damage across the region. Homes in the older Broderick and Bryte sections tend to be smaller and older, often needing updates, while Southport’s newer subdivisions are 20 to 30 years old. Flood insurance requirements and levee-related disclosures come up more often here than almost anywhere else in the Sacramento region.

Why West Sacramento owners sell as-is
Flood zone and levee disclosures
West Sacramento sits at the confluence of two major rivers, behind a levee system that has faced serious tests in past decades, including major storm-driven levee damage in 1986, 1997 and 1998. Many properties fall within mapped flood zones that require flood insurance for a federally backed mortgage, and sellers should expect flood-zone disclosures to come up in almost any transaction here.
Older Broderick and Bryte housing
The Broderick and Bryte neighborhoods trace back to the Gold Rush era and the early 1900s, well before West Sacramento incorporated as a single city in 1987. Homes here are generally smaller and older than the rest of the city, and many need roof, plumbing or foundation work that an as-is cash sale can skip.
Yolo County, not Sacramento County
West Sacramento is the only major city in the Sacramento metro that sits in Yolo County rather than Sacramento County. That means a different county assessor, tax collector and court system handle property records, tax bills and probate here, so paperwork from a Sacramento County source generally won’t apply.

West Sacramento is in Yolo County. Probate cases are heard by the Superior Court of California, County of Yolo, at its courthouse in Woodland.

Selling a house for cash in West Sacramento
Do I need flood insurance to sell my West Sacramento house?
You don’t need it to sell, but many properties here sit in a mapped flood zone, and a buyer using a federally backed mortgage will likely be required to carry flood insurance. That cost and the flood-zone disclosure itself can slow down or complicate a traditional financed sale, which is one reason some sellers prefer a cash offer that isn’t contingent on that kind of financing.
Is West Sacramento in the same county as the rest of Sacramento?
No. West Sacramento is in Yolo County, while the city of Sacramento and most of its other suburbs are in Sacramento County. That means your property tax bill, assessor records and any probate or court filings go through Yolo County’s courthouse in Woodland rather than Sacramento’s downtown courthouse.
My house in Broderick or Bryte is older and needs work. Do I have to fix it before selling?
No. California requires disclosing known material defects, but there’s no law requiring repairs first. Homes in these older river-adjacent neighborhoods often need roof, plumbing or foundation updates, and many owners choose to sell as-is rather than pay for that work themselves before listing.
Do I pay any fees or closing costs when I sell to BAM in West Sacramento?
No. There are no commissions or fees, and we pay all of the normal seller closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with, minus only what you owe, like a mortgage payoff or back taxes.
