Frequently asked questions

Seller questions to verify with official sources

Where does Hayward publish permit and property records for a home sale?

The City links to its e-Permits portal for available permit and inspection records. Treat a found, empty, or unclear result as a search result only and confirm its meaning with Development Services. Verify at the official source: City of Hayward

How do I confirm that a property is inside Hayward city limits?

Use the City's jurisdiction map as a starting point before relying on a Hayward record path. Confirm ambiguous addresses or boundaries directly with the City. Verify at the official source: City of Hayward
