New Street Use Permit Required for Side Sewer Permits with ROW Use
Posted December 28, 2004; updated March 1, 2005

Effective January 1, 2005 an SDOT street use permit for use of the right-of-way (ROW) is required when applying for a side sewer permit. ROW use includes:

  • material laydown and storage;
  • stockpiling;
  • curb and sidewalk crossing of equipment;
  • equipment parking during side sewer installation; and/or
  • excavation in the ROW to make a side sewer repair and/or connection.

A side sewer permit with ROW use will not be granted without the street use permit, which costs $165 and includes up to one hour of SDOT inspection time. Details

Why the Change?
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is in the process of revising the way it issues and tracks permits. As part of this effort, SDOT now requires a street use permit for use of the right-of-way (ROW) in conjunction with permitted side sewer work.

How to Pay for the Permit
As of Feb. 28, 2005, DPD is now collecting the SDOT ROW use fee in conjuction with side sewer permitting. This means the ROW permit should no longer be obtained separately at the SDOT Street Use Counter.

Payment for the street use permit should now be made to the DPD Cashier, located on the 20th floor of Seattle Municipal Tower at 700 Fifth Ave.
