Encroachment Permits

Encroachment Permit

A Public Works Encroachment Permit is required before any construction or activity that involves the City Right-of-Way, including renting a dumpster.  A permit can be obtained by a properly licensed contractor. At least 24 hours prior notice is required for all Public Works inspections. Inspection requests and inquiries may be directed to Public Works.

Some examples of work that require an Encroachment Permit:

• Renting a dumpster and placing it in the street.
• Water line replacement/sewer connection in the City right-of-way.
• Hauling material from site with designated trucking route. 
• Utility work in City right-of-way.
• Replacing/widening a driveway approach. 

If you are unsure if you need a permit, contact Public Works for assistance. For permit-related fees visit Fee Schedule and reference pages 77-78 for Public Works.
