  2. Why you need an EP

After filling out the online Encroachment Permit Form, and saving a copy to your desktop, it may be submitted via email in one of three methods below:

Please note that the form requires a signature. It can be a digital or "wet" (i.e. by hand with ink) signature. A "wet" signature requires that the form be completed, saved to the desktop (recommended but not necessary), printed, signed by hand with ink, scanned as a PDF, and saved to the desktop again.

Method 1a: Only if you use Outlook or Outlook Express for your email, and use a digital signature.
  1. If you use Outlook or Outlook Express as your email client, use a digital signature, and if you find a "letter" or email symbol in the upper left corner of the toolbar just below the address bar of your browser, click on that symbol.
  2. A small Acrobat Reader window will open asking if you want to “send a copy of the entire PDF as an attachment?”
  3. Select the option “send copy”
  4. Send the email to: “publicworks@ci.petaluma.ca.us”.
Method 1b: Only if you use Outlook or Outlook Express for your email, and use a "wet" signature.
  1. Select the email link (publicworks@ci.petaluma.ca.us) at the top of the Encroachment Form.
  2. This will open your email client on your computer.
  3. Attach the Encroachment Permit Form, that you saved to your desktop, to your email and send to “publicworks@ci.petaluma.ca.us”.
Method 2: If you DO NOT use Outlook or Outlook Express for your email, but still use another non-web based email client (that is installed on your computer) such as Thunderbird. Either digital or "wet" signature ok.
  1. Select the email link (publicworks@ci.petaluma.ca.us) at the top of the Encroachment Form.
  2. This will open your email client on your computer.
  3. Attach the Encroachment Permit Form, that you saved to your desktop, to your email and send to “publicworks@ci.petaluma.ca.us”.
Method 3: If you DO use a web based service for your email such as Yahoo or AOL. Either digital or "wet" signature ok.
