Applicant Guidance

The DOMI Permit Counter at 611 Second Avenue is closed. All applications are available online through OneStopPGH. For special accommodation, please contact our office at 412-255-2370 or domipermits@pittsburghpa.gov

The table below lists DOMI’s permits, licenses, and plan reviews. You can find a permit, license, or plan review type by browsing the table below or by using the search function. For example, if you wanted to find the City’s Barricade Permit, you could search for barricade, permit, construction, or staging.

The table includes links to information sheets or webpages that provide more details about specific permits, licenses, and plan reviews.

Additionally, the following documents outline information about DOMI’s processes and business practices, such as procedures and standards pertaining to working in the public right-of-way (ROW), fees and how they are calculated, required inspections and what they entail, and more.

Note: For permits issued in metered parking zones, applicants must contact the Pittsburgh Parking Authority at 412-560-2555. You will be faxed a form requesting the address, number of spaces, meter numbers and the duration of the scheduled outage. There is a per meter charge for this service.

We continue to create and revise our materials to serve you best. Please check back regularly for updates.
