Sidewalk Cost Share Program 

The Sidewalk Cost Share Program (PDF) was enacted by City Council in 1990 to provide for more expedient repair of frontage improvements damaged by street trees throughout the City. The program allows property owners to replace street trees, sidewalk, curb, gutter, and driveway and receive a partial reimbursement from the City. The program is funded yearly by the General Fund. 

**UPDATE: On October 6, 2020, City Council voted to approve an update to the Sidewalk Cost Share Program. Applicants will be eligible for reimbursement on costs up to 60% on items that are currently 50%. The update has an effective start date of January 2021. Until that time, the program will remain as it is listed above. For more information, review the Sidewalk Cost Share Program Council Presentation (PDF)**
 

Encroachment Permits

An Encroachment Permit (PDF) is required by the Napa Municipal Code whenever work is being performed in the public right-of-way, which includes the travel lanes and parking lanes on City streets, City sidewalks, and any other area designated as right-of-way.

If the work being performed disrupts normal traffic patterns, a Traffic Control Plan, following the Traffic Control Guidelines (PDF) must be provided with the application.   

Transportation Permits

Transportation Permits are required by State Law when a trucked load exceeds the weight limits outlined in the California Vehicle Code.  The City issues Transportation Permits whenever such a trucked load is proposed to operate within the City Limits. The Construction Division issues Annual Transportation Permits (PDF) and Single Use Transportation Permits (PDF).
