REGISTRATION INFORMATION
& INSTRUCTIONS
FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS
USERS OF THE RIGHT OF WAY
Access to the City’s right of way for the placement of private or commercial voice, data or video, control or other telecommunications facilities is regulated by State Statute Section 202.105 and 337.401 and City Code Sections 25-401 to 25-419. A copy of the City code section may be obtained from the City Clerk’s Office or via the City’s website, www.stpete.org. Our objective is to complete the registration process as quickly as possible. Please note registration requires approval by City Council; scheduling the required public hearing may take four to six weeks. It is recommended that you read the City code carefully before completing your application and submit your application in a timely manner. City Code Sections 25-402, 403, 404 specifically address the
registration process. Existing users may continue to operate systems currently in the right of way and request construction permits as required to support those systems while the Registration Process is completed. Registration is only required ONCE for each firm wishing to occupy the right of way. Once registered, a firm may obtain construction permits for all subsequent work without repeating the registration process.
