QUESTIONS ABOUT DRIVEWAYS AND FIELD ENTRANCES
Washington County has an established policy on entrances. Following are questions we hear often related to this policy.
Do I need a permit to widen my driveway?
Any work done (including driveway widening) in the right-of-way requires a permit from the County Engineer. You can download a permit or visit our office to fill one out. We will review the site and authorize the work before it has begun.
How do I add a driveway to my property?
You need to fill out a driveway permit and submit it to our office. We will review the proposed location for site distance and safety. We will provide the required pipe diameter if one is required. After the premit has been reviewed, you may construct the entrance.
Who repairs driveway culvert pipe?
Once a driveway is placed and is accepted by the county, it becomes the property of the county. Washington County will maintain any approved entrance. You can more in our entrance policy.
Do I need a permit to pave my driveway?
Yes. Please contact our office for a permit and for the required construction details.
