Street Obstruction / Dumpster Permit

Requirements
  • 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.
