Excavation and Driveway Permits

Please review our “Permitting Information” document below for a detailed explanation of how contractor’s are to obtain a Permit for work within the Town of Windsor’s Right of Way. All forms referenced within the document can be found below.

For contractors that regularly perform work within the Town’s right of way, please be sure to check the forms periodically as they are regularly updated.
