Permit Center


The Permit Center is a “one-stop” location in City Hall for the review of development projects and building plans:
  • representatives of Planning, Building, Engineering, Landscape and the Fire Department answer questions and assist you with your project;

  • there is a self-help area where you may research zoning and permitting history of a building or project;

  • many records can be copied for a nominal charge;

  • application for land use permits and construction, demolition and encroachment permits may be made at the Permit Center;

  • minor permits (termite repair, window replacement, re-roofing, water heater replacement and signs) are frequently issued over the counter in a single visit to the Permit Center.
Larger projects are subject to more complex regulations and will require a longer review period. The extent of review required depends on the use or occupancy type of the structure, the location and the impact of construction on the environment.

Projects are reviewed for compliance with:
  • zoning requirements
  • General Plan
  • Building and Fire Codes (including hazardous materials)
  • landscape requirements
  • Hayward Municipal Code
  • Subdivision Map Act
  • other established development policies
