Street Opening Permits

---

Any excavation or work being done in the city right of way requires a permit from the Public Works Department. If you are unsure if you are working in the city right-of-way, please contact our City Engineer Ron Kiene to provide you with some assistance. Bear in mind that this work can also include stone wall and fence installations as well as mailboxes.

The best way of determining if you will be working in the city right-of-way is to find your property pins, as the width varies from street to street. Should anyone install any type of obstruction within the right-of-way without permission, it must be removed at the owner's expense.

Please read over the codes carefully to ensure all regulations are followed. Codes also display a fee schedule.
