Street Lighting

DeKalb County procedures for installation of street lights by homeowners or developers on county-owned streets vary depending on whether the streets have overhead power or underground power.  The major difference between streets with underground power is that street light poles are not installed as part of the normal electrical service.  Therefore, the cost of the pole installation must be paid by the petitioners.
