The City places moratoria on all public roadways, as defined in HBMC Section 12.09, that have been recently maintained or reconstructed. Each moratorium goes into effect following construction and is in place for the following periods:

• Three years following roadway maintenance, including but not limited to chip seal, cape seal, slurry seal, micro paving, or other maintenance of asphalt concrete roadway;
• Five years following roadway construction, including but not limited to reconstruction, grind and overlay, or other replacement of asphalt concrete roadway; and
• Ten years following roadway construction, including but not limited to, reconstruction of Portland cement concrete roadway.

Further details regarding the pavement moratorium, including the application process for a waiver, can be found in the Pavement Moratorium Guidelines document.

Prior to performing any work in the public right-of-way, issuance of a right-of-way permit by the Public Works Department is required. For information about right-of-way permits, visit the City's website here.
