Obtain a Public Works Permit

The permitting process may vary slightly depending on the type of permit you need, but the overall process is the same. The fees and required supporting documentation vary by type of permit. To apply for a Public Works permit, complete the required application form and submit it through the Yuba County Self-Service Portal. You may use the portal to apply for a permit, submit documents, check your application status, and communicate with County staff fully online.
