Right-of-Way Management

The Right-of-Way & Utility Group is responsible for the review, inspection, and permitting for work to be performed within the City of Allen Right-of-Way (ROW) to ensure city utilities are protected. 

For Building Permits (fences, patios, etc.), refer to the Building Permits and Inspections Department page.

Before applying for a ROW permit, contact Engineering Coordinator Maria Downey at mdowney@cityofallen.org or 214.509.4583 to obtain existing utility information to include in permit application. 

 Please email completed permit applications to ROWpermits@cityofallen.org.

 City utility locate requests can be sent to Locates@cityofallen.org. Privately owned utilities are not located by the City. For franchise locates (electric, gas, and telecom), dial 811.
