Identify the occupation or excavation before ordering

Boston's current instructions ask for job type, requested time, traffic/police-detail plan and actual space dimensions. Staging/fencing must address pedestrian detours; metered spaces need meter identifiers. For street-occupying storage containers, the City also calls for authorization from the container owner and that company's bond.

The City's linked form refers to the named party receiving or later receiving Public Works permission to occupy or open public ways. Confirm the accepted on-file coverage and assigned sum for the actual category; it does not establish permission for any future location or work without a permit.

File accepted proof and obtain the actual permit

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the City-approved form, required permittee, sum, work coverage and dates with the issuer. Public Works asks companies missing from the online permittee/contractor lists to send the specified occupancy/excavation bond proof to its Permit Branch.

Arrange required execution and accepted filing, then complete the Public Works online application and City review. Boston asks for the permit application at least seven business days before use; that is not a promise of bond issuance speed. Finalized permission is available through the City portal.

Follow the permit's residential/metered-space posting and notice requirements, then remove debris/signs and repair or replace affected City property. Obtain the Branch's actual continuing-security and release instructions; the form continues unless its obligations are satisfied, not automatically at a supposed annual anniversary.
