The Engineering Department operates within the Planning Growth and Development Department and delivers a wide range of services related to the City's existing and developing infrastructure.

Engineering Department responsibilities include street lights, street/road/bridge construction and maintenance, stormwater management, driveway & street cut permits, and residential and commercial development review.

Street lights are viewed as an important city service because they provide light in places where residents are walking, biking, and driving. The purpose of the City’s street lights are to light the roadway to improve safety for drivers, riders, and pedestrians. Authorizing the location and placement of street lights is the responsibility of the Engineering Department. Thereafter, our local utility provider, Jackson Energy Authority (JEA), provides the maintenance and installation of the street lighting.

To report a street light outage or request outdoor lighting for your home or property visit our Ready 311 page.

For any questions and/or requests, please contact the Engineering Department at 731.425.8220.

The Engineering Department is located on the second floor of City Hall in the central portion of the building. Office hours are from 7:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Emergency situations should be reported to the Police Department at 731.425.8400.
