SDOT Street Use Inspection

All permits issued by Street Use are subject to inspection. Street Use Inspectors are responsible for enforcing the rules and regulations of the City of Seattle, such as permit conditions, Traffic Control Manual, Ordinances, City Specifications, and the Street and Sidewalk Pavement Opening Policy. This is to ensure that all construction, safety, and accessibility requirements of the permit are met as approved.

For utility construction activity the inspector will create an as-built record for locating the utility. This is essential to prevent damage and conflicts of future utility improvements.

If you have questions about when an inspection is required be sure and contact an inspector. The inspector can answer questions or meet with you to help smooth the permitting and inspection process for your project or event.

Working in the right-of-way without a permit can result in fines, removal of unpermitted work, and doubled permit fees.
