Encroachment Permit (Email) Submission
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.
- 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.
- A small Acrobat Reader window will open asking if you want to “send a copy of the entire PDF as an attachment?”
- Select the option “send copy”
- Send the email to: encroachmentpermits@ci.petaluma.ca.us.
Method 1b: Only if you use Outlook or Outlook Express for your email, and use a "wet" signature.
- Select the email link (encroachmentpermits@ci.petaluma.ca.us) at the top of the Encroachment Form.
- This will open your email client on your computer.
- Attach the Encroachment Permit Form, that you saved to your desktop, to your email and send to encroachmentpermits@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.
- Select the email link (encroachmentpermits@ci.petaluma.ca.us) at the top of the Encroachment Form.
- This will open your email client on your computer.
- Attach the Encroachment Permit Form, that you saved to your desktop, to your email and send to “encroachmentpermits@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.
