Permit histories are available online free of charge
We have updated our permit histories to provide complete access to view and print permit histories for all addresses in the City of Alameda, dating back to 1981. Code Enforcement cases have now been added to the permit histories. This service is intended to help real estate agents and prospective & current homeowners to determine the status of properties in real time.
Use the information at left to log on to the system. It is important to use ALL CAPS when logging in. Once you are logged in, click on the arrow next to shared reports, click on either report, and enter only the requested info in each field. Leave blank if unknown. Reports may be multiple pages. Permits are sorted alphabetically by permit type.
Certified Permit Histories
Contact the City of Alameda Permit Center if you would like to apply for a Certified Permit History, which would contain permit history prior to 1981. Fees for this service are $14.50 per address.
