Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need to get a permit from the Road Commission?

Anytime a person or business does any construction work in the road right-of-way (normally 66 feet wide - 33 feet each direction from the center of the road) they need to obtain a permit. This applies to driveway installation or any other construction type activity.  

Permits are NOT needed to install a mailbox (please see FAQ 15 for more info).

Anyone found in violation of this permit policy is subject to a fine up to $250.  

To obtain a copy of our permit please see our Permits page.  You may also call our office to request a copy to be sent or faxed to you or you may stop in at our Napier Avenue office.  Go to our Contact Information page for more info.
