The State, along with City and County agencies, requires encroachment permits, also known as right of way permits, for any work within or affecting the public right-of-way. MZB takes a proactive approach in managing and securing your encroachment permit from start to finish. This includes improvements such as utility connections, driveway approaches, sidewalk modifications, street cuts and other infrastructure-related activities. Securing the proper permits ensures your project complies with all applicable regulations, safety standards, and engineering requirements.

MZB Engineering Inc. provides full-service support for obtaining permits from state, city, and county agencies. Our experience streamlines the process, making approvals faster and more efficient. We also prepare traffic control plans in-house, one of the most critical requirements, ensuring better coordination and a smoother review process.

Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and may involve applications, supporting engineering plans, traffic control requirements, insurance or contractor documentation, and multiple review cycles. MZB assists with application preparation, submittals, agency coordination, and responses to plan-check comments through the permit review process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

An encroachment permit is the approval issued by a state, city, or county agency before you can perform work within or affecting the public right-of-way, such as utility connections, driveway approaches, sidewalk modifications, or street cuts. It confirms that your project meets applicable regulations, safety standards, and engineering requirements.

A right of way permit is another name for an encroachment permit. It authorizes construction or infrastructure work that takes place within or affects the public right-of-way, and it is issued by the agency that owns or manages that section of roadway.

An encroachment permit is commonly required for utility installation or repair, roadway or sidewalk work, driveway improvements, street cuts, and other construction activities that occupy or affect a public right-of-way. Exact requirements depend on the agency with jurisdiction.

Our plans are developed using the applicable MUTCD provisions together with state and local agency requirements and project-specific engineering judgment. Because agency requirements can vary, we also incorporate jurisdiction-specific criteria and lessons learned from our experience working with more than 500 agencies nationwide.
