Daly City's municipal code does not have a specific beekeeping ordinance. Beekeeping in residential zones may be subject to nuisance provisions and general zoning rules. Best practice is to contact the Planning Division before installing hives.
Daly City's DCMC Title 6 does not specifically address beekeeping. In the absence of an explicit ordinance, beekeeping in residential areas may be subject to nuisance provisions if bees disturb neighbors, and general zoning regulations about accessory uses. Property owners considering beekeeping should consult with the Daly City Planning Division (650-991-8033) and comply with California Department of Food and Agriculture hive registration requirements.
Unauthorized hives: removal order. Nuisance complaints: mediation then fines. Swarm incidents: emergency removal.
