QUESTIONS ABOUT ABOUT RIGHT-OF-WAY
Washington County has an established snow and ice removal policy. Following are questions we hear often related to this policy.
What can I do in the right-of-way on my road?
Landowners are encouraged to mow and maintain the right-of-way near their homes. You may not store equipment, construct buildings, place wells, grow crops, or place any obstruction in the highway right-of-way.
You may use the Washington County GIS website to assist in identifying the right-of-way on your road.
How much right-of-way does the county own on my road?
You may use the Washington County GIS website to assist in identifying the right-of-way on your road. You may also contact our office directly for assistance. Typical graval roads have 66' (from fence to fence) of right-of-way, although this varies dramatically between roads.
