Construction Frequently asked Questions
What is the role of the inspector in the processing of County Encroachment Permits?
Prior to permit issuance:
The assigned inspector will receive a copy of the plans and conduct a field review
prior to granting permit approval. The inspector will check to make sure the proposed
project is in conformance with County of Orange Standard Plans, ordinances and safety
regulations. Inspector will ensure proposed work does not conflict with existing
permits or present or “known” future County capital improvement projects.
After the permit is issued:
The Permittee will call for inspection 48 hours prior to performing any work. The
inspector will let the Permittee know if a preconstruction meeting is required and
will work closely with the Permittee during the length of project. When all work
is completed the Permittee will call for a final inspection and if the inspector
is satisfied they will sign off the permit.
