Can landscaping be installed in the public right-of-way in front of my property?

Generally, landscaping between the curb or edge of pavement and your front or exterior side property line does not require an encroachment permit; however, this landscaping can be removed if work is necessary by the Town or a public utility within the public right-of-way. The Town Engineering Department, at 329 Rheem Boulevard, has guidelines for landscaping within the right-of-way, such as the maximum size of boulders or rocks. Fences, retaining walls, drainage pipes and other structures are not "landscaping" and they would require an encroachment agreement from the Town.
