The encroachment permit

Noblesville calls any work in its right-of-way an encroachment, and it needs a permit. The ordinance says the right-of-way includes public roadways, alleys, sidewalks and trails. The city's Street Department says the permit is needed whenever you are working, staging or crossing that land.

Its encroachment ordinance names the driveway jobs that need one:

• A new residential driveway, which the ordinance lists under curb cuts and new access into the city right-of-way.
• Replacing or upgrading a driveway you already have. The ordinance says this has to meet the width rules in Article 10 of the city's Unified Development Ordinance.
• Any work on a house's drive approach, or replacing sidewalk, inside the right-of-way.

We call the stretch of your driveway that crosses the right-of-way to the street the drive approach. A driveway replacement that runs all the way to the street includes it.

Timing and the cost of skipping it

Each application goes through a 5-working-day review. The city charges a $500 penalty fee, and stops the work, if any work starts before the permit is approved. We apply for the permit first and set the pour date around the review.

The ordinance also says the city inspects all encroachment permits, and that the permit holder books those inspections. We book them for you.

Keeping the street side tidy

Under the ordinance, driving a vehicle or machine on a sidewalk or a walking trail in the right-of-way counts as an encroachment too. Our trucks stay on the street and the driveway.

If our digging disturbs concrete or sod, the ordinance gives 10 days to put it back in equal or better condition. Fixing the lawn edge and any sidewalk we touch is part of our job.

The ordinance also says permit holders must use Indiana's 811 service at least 48 hours before any work in the right-of-way, so buried lines get marked. We make that call before every dig.

What to get in writing

Our written quote for a Noblesville job says who applies for the encroachment permit and when, and who books the city's inspections. We also write down how wide the driveway will be where it meets the street, how thick the concrete will be and what goes under it, and how we'll leave the lawn and sidewalk.

Whoever you hire, ask for the same things in writing.
