The Inspection/Construction Division of the Public
Works Department strives to enhance the quality of life in Calabasas by
providing the technical guidance necessary to maintain the City’s infrastructure
while planning for future growth. Specifically, Inspection/Construction reviews
the design and construction of grading and infrastructure plans for new
development, manages surveying and design drawing records; administers flood
plan services and other programs. The
Inspection/Construction division also issues Encroachment Permits, which are
permits required for all work or placement of objects within the public works
right of way. Permits help to protect the public and the contractor from unsafe
conditions, ensure proper placement of materials in the right of way, prevent
obstruction of underground facilities, protect against damage to existing
facilities, guarantee that the work will be done in accordance with all
applicable standards and specifications and establish quality control
inspections.
The permit assures that all the work will be
done in accordance with applicable design and construction standards as well as
insurance requirements needed to safeguard the public interest. Any person
working within the public right-of-way must obtain a permit from the City and
maintain a copy of the permit on site at all times during construction.
To obtain an encroachment permit or if you
would like additional information, please contact Larry Edmonson at
