Our mission is to manage the County's transportation infrastructure, junk vehicle disposal, and noxious weed control in the most cost-effective manner possible.
Any work done in the road right-of-way must be permitted. This includes private and public accesses, utilities (gas, water, electric, cable TV, phone, etc.), or any other construction work in the road right-of-way.
Any private or public access that connects to a county or dedicated road will need to be permitted. A permit for a residential access is $75.00 and a commercial access is $150.00.
