INDOT Permit Guide

INDOT Permits is pleased to announce the publication of the new Permit Guide

This newly developed guide describes the framework within INDOT and how it administers the program. This document is intended as an open reference for anyone who wishes to obtain guidance or information on INDOT’s Permit Program. The user should be aware that policies, regulations, standards and forms may be subsequently revised, added or deleted. The user should contact INDOT Central Office Permits Division with questions pertaining to pending or approved changes.

Online Submission of INDOT Permit Applications

INDOT Permits is paperless! All permit applicants are now required to use INDOT’s Electronic Permitting System (EPS) when seeking a permit and making an electronic payment. INDOT is working to modernize and increase productivity to better improve our service offerings, and EPS makes it easy to apply for and update a permit. Utilizing INDOT’s online system allows customers to track and manage their permits, enable direct email access to track communications, and provides a repository for all documents relevant to the permit. Once registered to use EPS, the applicant can just follow the instruction prompts for submitting the application package. All permit applications must be submitted electronically, however, certain exceptions will be allowed by law.

Guide to Outdoor Advertising  

The INDOT Guide to Outdoor Advertising provides resources to understand Indiana’s outdoor advertising control program including the full text of the applicable Indiana Administrative Code and other Federal and State laws and regulations. It also offers guidance on how to apply for, and maintain, the required permits using EPS. Sections include walk-throughs to register for an account with EPS and to submit a permit application along with accompanying documentation and the fee.

Outdoor Advertising Control Routes

Information on Indiana roadways subject to outdoor advertising control and permitting requirements is now available as an ArcGIS map. Questions regarding Control Routes can be directed to the District Permits staff or permits@indot.in.gov.

Apply For a Permit Using EPS

INDOT enables you to apply for permits online using EPS

Certain permits will require a maintenance agreement to conduct work in State right-of-way. The process can take between 90 to 120 days. If a maintenance agreement is required, a permit will not be issued until there is a fully executed agreement in place. Contact your district permits office for questions and early coordination.
