On Your Lot
A walk from the driveway to the door, a side yard path or a few steps are simple jobs. Width, a broom finish and even joints are what make one last and stay safe.
The Public Sidewalk
Santee requires an Encroachment Permit from Engineering for any work in the city right of way, including the replacement, repair or install of a new driveway. The contractor working in the public right of way must hold a California General Engineering Contractor (Class A) license and meet the city's insurance rules.
Before Any Digging
State law says the person digging must notify the regional notice center at least two working days, and not more than 14 calendar days, before the dig. The notice day does not count. Call 811, and the lines get marked with paint and flags like the yard in the photo.
Do not dig until the marks are down.
Questions
Do I need a permit to fix the sidewalk in front of my Santee home?

What do the paint marks in my yard mean?
They show buried utility lines, marked after a call to 811. Keep digging tools away from them.
