Right-of-way construction permits in Jersey Village at a glance

What Jersey Village asks for on a right of way permit

• Applicant and registration
• Location and scope
• Engineering plans
• Insurance and bond
• Traffic control
• Signature

What else is required

• Annual right-of-way registration, separate from the permit
• Engineering plans drawn at 1 inch = 100 feet
• Proof of insurance of the amount the city requires
• Surety bond of $15,000
• Working hours restricted to 7am to 7pm

The order to file in

1. Register with Jersey Village if you have not this year.
2. Gather the attachments listed above before you start the form. They take longer than the form does.
3. File the application.

The heaviest of the set. The surety bond and the engineering plans take days to obtain, so this is the permit to start weeks before you need it, not the night before.

Insurance

Proof of insurance is required at registration, and the certificate has to name the City of Jersey Village as the additional insured. The city does not publish a required coverage amount, so ask the Building Department for the current figure. Most cities require the certificate to come to them directly from your agent rather than from you.

The part that repeats

A single job in Jersey Village usually means a building permit plus separate trade permits, and your company name, address, phone, email and license number go on every one of them. Counted across a residential job filing building, plumbing and electrical permits, 42 fields get typed where about 19 carry new information.

That is what the permit filler is for: enter your company once, enter the job once, and open each form to have both drop in. It runs in your browser, so your license number and your client’s address are never uploaded anywhere.
