Application process
Application → plan check → issuance → inspection → final
- 01 Confirm the parcel is inside Hawley city limits.
- 02 Review the official permits page to determine whether the work is one of the permit types the city actually publishes, such as driveway excavation, peddler activity, or fireworks sales.
- 03 For driveway installation, obtain the excavation permit application and coordinate with the city before work starts because the city states the area must be inspected to ensure water runoff is not affected.
- 04 If the project involves ordinary vertical construction, contact City Hall directly to determine whether any local building permit, floodplain approval, or utility approval applies; no public general building-permit packet was found in the reviewed materials.
