A Highway Use Permit is required for any non‑municipal activity taking place within a Town road right‑of‑way, including traffic lanes. Common examples include excavations, temporary road closures or detours, and the placement of signs, displays, or seating areas.
The application fee is $55, payable at the time of submission. Depending on the nature of the project or event, the Town may also require a refundable cash security deposit, which will be returned in full if no damage occurs to Town infrastructure.
