A permit is required for all construction work in, or encroachments on, public rights-of-way, sidewalks, curbs, bridges, pedestrian walks and bicycle paths owned or maintained by the Town of Clarkdale whether held by deed, easement, dedication or other claim of right. Construction work includes excavation, pavement cuts, or structural alterations such as sidewalks, curb cuts, or drainage structures. The permit shall be applied for on a form provided by the Public Works Department.

In the event of an actual emergency threatening public health and safety, encroachments, including excavation for necessary public utility repairs, are allowed without a permit provided a permit is applied for the next working day, all traffic control and safety devices necessary are used, and final repairs are not performed until authorized by the Town of Clarkdale.
