Any construction activity within public rights-of-way or lane closure for a prolonged period on a major street requires an encroachment permit from the Public Works Department. These permit applications can be obtained from the department at 610 Foster City Blvd. weekdays between 8 AM and 5 PM.

The City requires an encroachment permit application fee and a minimum inspection deposit of $500.00. A portion of the inspection deposit may be refunded depending on the extent of inspections required. A restoration bond may also be required with the bond value determined by the size and nature of the project.

Feel free to download and print these forms. You may then fill them out from your home or business.
