Performing Work in City
Right-of-Ways
The city owns and maintains right-of-way and easement areas throughout Duncanville. Any company or utility that plans to work, excavate, install services, block, or otherwise disturb these common areas is required to obtain a Right-of-Way Permit from the City. Please note right-of-way permits are valid for 14 days only. The City utilities will be located and a permit returned to you within five days, weather permitting.
The City will locate all City utilities within the designated work area. Please contact DIGTESS @ 811 to initiate Franchise Utility locates.
There is no cost for this permit.
Obtaining a permit alerts the City to locate its underground utilities.
Register and Apply for a Permit
There is no fee for the registration or permit. Please note: right-of-way permits are valid for 14 days only. If you need an extension, please call (972) 780-5000.
