Contractors must obtain a city business license and comply with specific municipal codes regarding right-of-way usage, stormwater management, and zoning. Failure to secure necessary permits for driveway or sidewalk work can lead to stop-work orders and significant fines, making early coordination with Tacoma Planning and Development Services essential for project success.
