Engineering Permits

Right of Way Permit (required if you are working in the City right of way for any reason)

All right of way applications will be reviewed prior to permit issuance.  Work may not begin until approval is given and permit is issued.  Permit fees (per Ordinance 25-210) will be calculated after plan review is complete.

PLEASE NOTE:  All right of way applications MUST be submitted with a plan of the proposed work (the contractor is responsible for preparing this plan).  Plans should be to scale and include dimensions, property lines, and underground utilities including sanitary, water and storm mains. The Engineering Department can supply an aerial view GIS utility map that can be used to prepare this plan (contact us at engineering@wadsworthcity.org).
