Thanksgiving Holiday Closure: Online Permit Services Not Available

Online Permits

Please be advised that City of Fremont offices will be closed on Thursday, November 25 and Friday, November 26 in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday.

The City’s online permitting portal, Citizen Access, will be taken offline for the Thanksgiving holiday closure. Citizen Access will be unavailable starting Wednesday, November 24, 2021, at 12:00 pm through Monday, November 29, 2021, at 8:00 am. Online requests for permits (Building, Planning, and Engineering permits) and building inspections will not be available during this time. Please take this into consideration when planning for your project. The City’s Interactive Voice Response (IVR) phone system will still be available during the closure to request a building inspection. Anyone who needs to schedule an inspection can call 510-494-4885.

The City appreciates your patience during this time and wishes everyone a happy holiday season.
