Permit Manager Research permits, request inspections, and apply for simple permits. Simple permits, often called "over-the-counter" or "trade" permits, are those permits that require no submission of supporting drawings or documents. All that is required is the completion of the online form and payment of the fee. These are the only type of permits that we can currently process online. You must be a contractor currently licensed to do business within the City of Alameda in order to use this service.
