Permits must be acquired for all work performed within the public right of way.  Utilities, private contractors or municipal agencies usually do this work.  Permits are typically for installation of new utility mains and services, new or reconstructed driveways and sidewalks and may also be for emergency repairs.

Permit applications are initiated at our office on the Seventh Floor of the County Administration Building, 138 East Court Street or the Second Floor of the Hamilton County Service Garage located at 223 West Galbraith Road.   A Clerical Specialist is available to accept applications, plans and permit fees at each location.
