Hello everyone, I’ve been geocaching about 10 months and getting ready to put a cache out. I have many great geocachers in my area who have put out a lot of caches. I was thinking about putting some more urban in my town. Do you have to get the city’s permission for places like a bench or sign?
By submitting a cache to geocaching.com you are stating that you have permission for EVERY cache you place. That said, the reviewers will only ask for the permission to be stated formally in certain instances like in the case of private property for example (this includes store parking lots and utility equipment like hydrants, poles and electrical boxes). Its usually a decent idea to contact the city and see what the rules are for their parks and properties and to post that information in a reviewer note when submitting a cache. Posting permission information in a review note is usually a good way to avoid delays in getting a cache published.
