Frequently Asked Questions

An Encroachment Permit is required to perform any work in the Town’s right-of-way.

Debris containers should be out of the Town’s right-of-way and placed in the driveway only on a temporary basis. If this is not possible, you must fill out an Encroachment Permit application. The application should include the dimensions of the container and the duration the container will be within the Town right-of-way (street) and be placed so as not to cause any traffic obstruction, sight distance obstacle or safety hazard.

The best way to find all recorded interests such as easements in the property is from a current Title Report obtained from a title insurance company. If any easements exist, uses within the easement would be limited so as not to interfere with the purpose of the easement, i.e. a storm drain easement should not be graded or paved over to interfere with drainage of the lot.
