Choose the right Millcreek permit

Use the city's permit table to sort your project into building, planning (conditional use, rezone, subdivision, variance and others) or public works (excavation in a public right of way).
Talk to a planner before applying for the planning permits the table marks with an asterisk, since some projects need more than one permit.

Know the plowing order and your snow duties

Plows clear major arterials first, then minor arterials, school routes and steep hills, with neighborhood streets, cul-de-sacs and dead ends last.
Keep cars off the street while snow is present, because the page says parked vehicles hinder plowing and are the likely reason a plow skips a street.
Clear your sidewalk, driveway approach and the fire hydrant near you, and keep snow out of the street.
If your street was missed, wait at least 24 hours after the storm ends, then contact Salt Lake County Public Works Operations using the contact details on the page.
