Public Works Permits, Forms, Fees & Inspections

Below is information about public works permits and inspections. Click here for permits and inspections.

Permit Process

Notice: In the online application section that asks if this project is associated with a planning project, select NO.

Permits will generally be issued within five working days from the date of application: however, larger projects or incomplete submittals will require additional time.  Projects requiring significant lane closures should be submitted at least 10 days in advance of the anticipated start of work to allow for more review time.

The City requires any contractor working in the ROW to have a Certificate of Liability Insurance listing City of Lone Tree as Additional Insured on file with us.  All sub contractors, including contact information, must be listed on the permit.

Right-of-way permits will not be issued for longer than a six month period.  If your project is not complete in six months you will need to reapply for your permit.  Large scale development projects are allowed a one year ROW Permit.

No permit for new infrastructure or grading will be issued until the construction plans are approved by Development Review.
