Beginning Tuesday, March 17th, DPW permit window will be closed, but operations will still continue. DPW will not be accepting any permit applications or plan review requests in person. All permit applications MUST be submitted via email at permits@CityofLawrence.org.
Payments will be required to be paid via phone using credit/debit cards. Approved and fully paid permits will be emailed to the applicant. Please call 317-545-8787 to direct you to the appropriate personnel, to make the payment.
