1. What is an encroachment permit?

An encroachment permit authorizes the applicant to perform work within the City’s right of way, construct approved facilities, or conduct specified activities. The encroachment permit is not a property right like an easement, nor does it confer a property right. Therefore, it does not transfer with the sale of real personal property.

View the Lodi Municipal Code 12.04.

2. Where do I apply for an encroachment permit?

You may apply for a permit at the Public Works Department, 221 W Pine Street, Lodi between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m, Monday through Thursday. The permit application is available online. Submitting an application does not constitute encroachment permit approval. The permit application fee to initiate the application process is non-refundable. Please contact the Public Works Department at 209-333-6706 for additional fee information and insurance details.
