Application for Excavation Permit

Application for Sidewalk Permit (this permit also applies to a driveway approach and curb cut)

On Monday, April 4th, 2022 at 7:30 a.m., the City of Cedar Falls opened right-of-way and sidewalk permits. However, due to the unpredictable weather in the springtime, contractors and homeowners need to comply with the following criteria:
• In order to pour sidewalks and driveways, the temperature needs to be 34° and rising. 
• Frost needs to be removed from the ground where concrete will be poured.
• If it’s expected to be below freezing (32°) overnight, all fresh concrete will need to be covered by blankets throughout the night. 
To apply for right-of-way and/or sidewalk permits, please stop by City Hall at 220 Clay Street or apply online at www.cf1stop.com. If you have any questions, please contact 319-268-5161 or email cf1stop@cedarfalls.com.
