How to Apply for a Right-of-Way (ROW) Permit
Overview
To apply for a Right-of-Way (ROW) permit in Georgetown, submit an application through My Government Online. Follow the steps below to complete your application, upload the required documents, and notify the City's ROW Permits team after submitting.
Step 1: Start Your Application
-
Visit My Government Online
-
Create an account or log in to your existing account.
-
Go to Permits & Licensing and select Apply Online.
-
Make sure the jurisdiction is set to Georgetown and select Systems Engineering as the project type.
-
Start a new application and select Right of Way Permit Application.
-
Review the available policies, manuals, and specifications, which you can read or download. You will need to acknowledge that you have read and understand these documents later in the application.
Step 2: Enter Project and Contact Information
-
Enter the project address.
-
Complete the Applicant, Owner, and Contractor information. For each section, provide:
- Business name
- First and last name of the project contact
- Phone number for the project contact
- Email address for the project contact
If the Applicant and Owner are the same, enter the information in both sections.
-
Leave the Superintendent and Subcontractor sections blank for now.
-
Complete the application questionnaire to the best of your knowledge. Include the project start and end dates, roadway name, distances, crossing length, type of construction, and project description.
Step 3: Complete All Required Acknowledgments
Make sure to initial and check all required acknowledgments.
If any required acknowledgments are incomplete, the application may not be submitted and could remain pending in your account.
Step 4: Upload Required Documents
Upload each required document individually in its designated section:
-
Detailed project plans
-
Contractor's certificate of insurance (COI)
-
Traffic Control Plan (TCP)
Important: Upload the certificate of insurance twice. The application system currently requests the COI in two separate required fields. This is a known system issue that is being addressed. Upload the same insurance file in both designated fields. The system will not move the application forward without all required documents attached.
Step 5: Submit Your Application
-
Review your application to make sure all required information, acknowledgments, and documents are complete.
-
Submit the application.
-
Email your application number to rowpermits@georgetowntexas.gov.
