Butte County Vital Statistics is mandated by California law to register all births, deaths, fetal deaths that occur in our local registration district, and to issue burial permits for the interment or movement of human remains. We are also mandated to provide information about these events to local, state and federal health agencies to reduce fraud and help promote the health of our citizens, and to local and state planners to facilitate meaningful and efficient use of funds.

Burial Permits

If cremains/remains are to be legally interred in Butte County, you will need to contact Butte County Vital Statistics to obtain a burial permit. If cremains/remains are to be moved into Butte County from another County you will need to contact the Vital Statistics office in the county where the remains/cremains are currently interred. This can be determined by looking at the burial permit that is with the remains now. Please bring a copy of the original burial permit and the name and address of the new place of disposition with you when you visit our office to obtain the new permit. We will ask you to complete a one page form and collect a fee of $11.00 (effective 1/1/2007)
