Board of Appeals
We provide the final administrative review process for appeals on a range of City permits and determinations. Appeals may be filed by email, telephone or in-person. The Board Office can be reached at boardofappeals@sfgov.org or 628-652-1150. You are strongly encouraged to make an appointment as the Board office only has three staff members and we want to ensure a person with the appropriate expertise is available to assist you. Appeals must be filed by 4:30 p.m. Please Note: All documents and emails submitted to the Board Office are public records. You are advised to redact information if you want it to remain confidential.

About
As a quasi-judicial body, we provide a final review process for a wide range of City permitting. We aim to provide an efficient, fair and expeditious review of the City's permit issuance process before an impartial panel.
The City Charter of 1932 created the Board of Appeals.

The Board's office staff is on site at the office during business hours. If you have an issue that requires in-person attention, please note that the Board's office staff is limited to an executive director, a legal assistant, and a clerk; to ensure that a staff member with the appropriate expertise is available to address your specific needs, you are strongly encouraged to make an appointment in advance by calling 628-652-1150 or emailing boardofappeals@sfgov.org. Appointments are also recommended because the Board office is in a secured area of the Permit Center.
Please note that on Mondays, the Permit Center physically opens to the public at 9:00 a.m. (Board staff are available by phone or email starting at 8:00 a.m.).
