Transportation Permits (T-Permits) are required in West Sacramento for all Extralegal or Oversize loads. To be eligible for an oversize/overweight (or "extralegal") permit, the main criterion is that the load be non-reducible, meaning that it cannot be reduced down and transported in a legal vehicle.

A T-permit is required any time a vehicle and/or vehicle load is larger than 8’6” width, 14’ height, 40’ length (single unit) or 65’ length (combo unit). T-Permits are issued on a single trip or annual basis, and are enforced by City police and the California Highway Patrol.

Transportation Permits are only issued upon payment of the permit application fee, and after the planned route and vehicle load have been examined for possible safety and traffic conflicts by the City's T-Permit Administrator.

Permit Fees

Single Trip Permit (5 Days)	$16

Payment Options

Payments may be submitted in the form of cash, check or credit card (in-person only). Checks sent by US mail are preferred. When paying by check, Applicants MUST include the check number on each permit application.

Return and frequent applicants may establish a draw-down account at a minimum of $500.00 per deposit. The City reserves the right to refuse approval of any new T-Permit application(s) if a permittee has failed to submit full payment for prior permits.
