Engineering Operations Technicians

In Iowa, the permitting process is administered by the Iowa DOT's district offices.  Iowa is divided into six districts as shown below.  Each district has designated staff, known as engineering operations technicians or EOT’s, to assist applicants and review the requests for entrance permits.  Use the map below to find your district contact. The permit application must be approved before work may begin.  The approval process may include internal Iowa DOT review by different offices. Additionally, there may be requests for more information from the applicant.
