An encroachment permit is required any time construction work will be conducted within the public right of way. An encroachment permit assures that City property will not be damaged and, if necessary, proper repairs will be made. Encroachment permits may be obtained from the City of Yuba City Public Works Department. Individuals, companies, contractors, corporations, utilities, and other agencies proposing to conduct any activity within, under, or over the City’s right of way are required to obtain an encroachment permit. Examples of work requiring a construction encroachment permit include excavations, sign, post, and fence installations, equipment/ structures placed upon the street and/or sidewalk, vegetation planting/trimming, driveway or sidewalk installation/replacement, and utility work.

Complete the Encroachment Permit Application and submit with required documentation (see Procedure Checklist for more information) to the Public Works Department at City Hall or via email at [email protected].
