Encroachment Permit Information

An encroachment permit is required when work is performed within the public right-of-way or on City-owned property. This includes activities such as utility work, driveway construction, sidewalk or curb repairs, street improvements, temporary lane closures, and placement of equipment or materials within public areas.
The permit process helps ensure that work is completed safely, minimizes impacts to the public, and protects City infrastructure. Applicants will be required to submit plans, traffic control information, insurance documentation, and applicable fees prior to permit issuance. For more information see the Tracy Municipal Code Section 7.04.
