Utility and Right-of-way Permits

What is a Right of Way

Right-of-way is public property and includes any public thoroughfare such as a street, road, walkway or alley. It also usually includes the median, utility poles, sidewalks, and the area immediately adjacent to the street (sometimes known as a "sidewalk strip" or a "parkway").

Apply for a Utility and ROW Permit online.

The exact location of the right-of-way boundary lines can only be determined by a licensed land surveyor.
