Construction within the public right-of-way is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Public Works. Public works permits are used to allow construction work in the public right-of-way. These permits typically require a plan showing the work proposed, as well as fees and surety to insure the completion of the work. Also Public Works provides all inspections required by each individual permit.
