The following are answers to some of the most basic questions asked pertaining to the permit process.
Q. How long will it take to receive my permit?
A. Public Works strives for a two week turn around time, so please plan accordingly. We appreciate your patience.
Q. How long is the permit good for?
A. There is a two part answer to this question: Firstly, permits are "one time only" permits. Thus, for example, if you secured a waterline utility permit to cross an Adams County road and then decided to repair or replace the line in the future, you will need to secure another waterline utility permit for the repair/replace work you plan on doing. Secondly, once granted, you have 6 months to perform the work specified in the permit.
Q. What does the permit cost?
A. Fees are stated on the application forms themselves. Currently, they are $25.
