Street Obstruction / Dumpster Permit
- A permit is required for any non-motorized obstruction that is placed in the street, such as dumpsters, storage containers (PODs), and building/landscape materials. The permit can be obtained at the Public Works administrative office. Cost of the permit is $30.
- Flashers are required if the obstruction will remain in the street overnight. These are available from the Public Works department with a $150 deposit. A separate check is required for the flasher deposit.
- Obstructions must be placed at least 30 feet from an intersection and 10 feet from an alley entrance. Permits are valid for up to 30 days. If a longer time frame is needed, please consider other arrangements.
