The Engineering Division safeguards public health, safety and welfare while providing a friendly, fair and expedient permitting process. We review site plans and construction permits for both major developments and minor work in the right-of-way to verify that projects are designed and constructed in accordance with required standards, building codes, and environmental regulations.
Engineering services are provided to the community via public counter, website, telephone, mail, email and field site visits.
Effective January 1, 2024:
(5) Five new ‘Engineering Services’ have been added to the LauderBuild menu. All NEW Engineering permit record names, starting on 01-01-2024, will begin with ‘ROW’. All Engineering Services request record names will start with ‘ENG’. Prior submitted records will not be affected.
The City has developed LauderStreet, a mobile friendly searchable map that provides location-specific information about road and sidewalk closures in the City's Right-of-Way. When applying for an MOT in the City, you can use LauderStreet as a planning tool to see if there are any current or upcoming closures at the same location during the times and dates you are submitting an MOT. By avoiding overlapping road closures and working together we can reduce traffic impacts in the City.
LauderStreet features location-specific information on each closure such as the reason for the closure, duration of the closure and in many cases, detour information. The map links directly to Google’s traffic layer, allowing users to see the impact a closure is having on traffic. Click to view LauderStreet today!
