Is a permit required to install a lawn irrigation system?

Yes. Lawn irrigation systems are required to be permitted through the Building Division, and the installer must be a licensed contractor. You can apply for the permit online. If sprinkler heads are located in the right-of-way (the first 11 feet from the back of the curb) then a right-of-way permit and a notarized release will also be required. More information about the process for installing a lawn irrigation system and the release form for projects in the right-of-way (to be notarized) is available online (PDF).
