Application Process
A right-of-way permit is required for any work, excavation, trenching, fill-in, or over, on any City of Osage Beach easement.
The Osage Beach Building Department requires a completed and signed Right-of-Way/Easement Permit Application for each project. Each permit has specific instructions and requirements, so please read over the packet carefully and provide the requested documentation through the Plans & Permits Form.
Special Requirements
Surety or cash bond
- A surety or cash bond in the amount of $2,000 is required for each job. Online payments are not accepted.
- We accept surety bonds or checks made out to the City of Osage Beach.
- The bond will be promptly refunded when the repairs have been inspected and approved.
Timely completion of work
- Public access and use must be disrupted as little as possible.
- Any work within the city right-of-way or easement must proceed without unnecessary delays. Once started, work should continue during normal working hours until completion.
