The Dig Line
The Dig Line
A permit is required for all excavation and demolition work, including digging.
Before you apply for a permit, you need to determine the extent of your excavation and identify potential hazards such as underground utilities. Kentucky 811 is a notification center that provides information on the location of underground utilities. Contact them at least three working days prior to excavation and provide details of your excavation plans.
IF YOU WILL BE JUST USING HAND TOOLS, you DO NOT need to call the dig line. The photo below shows the KRS statute that creates this exception.
