Encroachment permits are issued for both temporary and long-term placements. They cover a broad range of activities in or upon the County Right-of-Way, including public streets, roads, sidewalks, and alleys. Activities such as special events, filming, and storage of equipment or materials may all require an encroachment permit.
In addition to the Right-of-Way, the use of County property or Flood Control District property may also require applicants to obtain encroachment permits.
