Permits
Do you need a permit to place a porta potty on a San Benito County road?
A porta potty on a San Benito County road needs an encroachment permit from County Public Works, which posts its forms through the Resource Management Agency at 2301 Technology Parkway in Hollister. Inside Hollister city limits, the City Engineering Division at 339 Fifth Street issues the permit instead. Private ranch roads need none.
| Where the unit sits | Office | Permit? |
|---|---|---|
| County road or shoulder (Tres Pinos, Ridgemark, Aromas side roads) | San Benito County Public Works — encroachment forms | Yes |
| Hollister city street or sidewalk | City of Hollister Engineering Division, (831) 636-4340 | Yes |
| Public event inside Hollister | City Clerk — Public Assembly Permit | Yes — 45 days ahead (60 days over 1,000 people) |
| Ranch, farm road, driveway or private lot | None | No |
Inland heat
How does San Benito County heat change porta potty service?
San Benito County summers run hot. In Hollister the warm season lasts from about June 11 to October 13, with average highs above 79°F and July averaging 83°F. Heat speeds up odor in a porta potty tank. Place units in shade, keep the vent clear, and add mid-event service for multi-day events.
Pick shade
North or east side of a barn, building or tree line. Full afternoon sun on a dark roof turns a unit into an oven.
Use the breeze
Face the door away from the wind but keep the roof vent open to moving air.
Service for long events
1–4 day event units arrive cleaned and stocked. Add a mid-event service for a three-day show.
Add handwashing
Food plus heat means a handwash station. Stations hold about 34 gallons of fresh water.

Ranch & farm
What do San Benito County ranches and farm crews need?
A San Benito County farm crew needs 1 toilet and 1 handwashing station for every 20 workers under Cal/OSHA 8 CCR §3457, within a ¼-mile walk or 5 minutes of the work. A long-term ranch unit bills on a 28-day cycle with weekly service. Sporadic sites can ask for every-other-week service.
- Give the driver a cross street, gate code and where the unit goes — rural addresses can be hard to find
- Gravel or a firm dirt pad; avoid soft field edges after winter rain
- Towable units on a trailer follow crews between fields
- Service logged by date for your Cal/OSHA records
- Call 2 business days before day 28 to stop the next cycle
