The City Engineers Office has many vital functions in the pulse of the City of Valparaiso's administration. The Engineering Department addresses the entire city with some extensions of the city limits into Porter County. We coordinate with the Emergency 911 System, the Post Office, and the Police Department. All sewer work must have a sewer permit reviewed and signed through the City Engineer's Office.
New homes are more involved and are included in the building permit.
Several private districts are located throughout the city which will effect the district cost. So, the final cost can only be determined during review by the Engineering Department. A project which is more extensive then above would be charged by lineal feet of cut. A replacement project of sidewalk or driveway will also require a permit. A plan must accompany the permit for review by the Engineer's office.
