An Ohio Permit to Maintain a Temporary Encroachment with Public Right of Way is a document issued by the Ohio Department of Transportation (DOT) that allows a person or entity to temporarily encroach onto public right of way. This encroachment can take the form of a fence, signage, or other structure. There are two types of Ohio Permit to Maintain a Temporary Encroachment with Public Right of Way: a Standard Permit and an Emergency Permit. The Standard Permit is issued for a period of one year and allows the applicant to encroach a maximum of three feet onto the public right of way. The applicant must submit a complete application, pay the applicable fee, and agree to follow all applicable laws and regulations. The Emergency Permit is issued for a period of up to 30 days and allows the applicant to encroach a maximum of two feet onto the public right of way. The applicant must submit an application with a description of the emergency and the proposed encroachment, pay the applicable fee, and agree to follow all applicable laws and regulations. Both types of permit require the applicant to adhere to specific safety requirements and to repair any damages to the public right of way. The applicant must also provide proof of liability insurance and indemnify DOT for any damages or losses resulting from the encroachment.
