Encroachment Permits
The Public Works Department issues Encroachment Permits for any use of public right-of-way other than normal driving, parking or walking.
Public right-of-way begins at private property line.
Building Department permits, i.e., plumbing, electrical, etc. DO NOT supersede or encompass encroachments of sidewalk, curbs, gutter, driveways or roadway. The Public Works Department will issue Encroachment Permits to either property owners or their contractors. To avoid lost time and money, anyone starting work should make sure the property permit is taken out and on hand at the site BEFORE work is started.
State Law requires U.S.A. call-in 48 hours prior to digging. |
