Normal construction activity in the public right-of-way, including obstruction of the public right-of-way requires a permit (PDF) from our Engineering Department with the city of South Salt Lake. Work in the public right-of-way includes replacement or new construction of streets, sidewalks, curb and gutter, drive approaches, and utility excavations. Landscaping does not require a public right-of-way permit unless heavy equipment is used to move material. Planning approval may be required, please contact the community development department 801-483-6063.
If you need to close a city-owned street or sidewalk for any length of time, you will be required to obtain a right-of-way permit and include a Traffic Control Plan.
