Access Permits

A Street or Driveway Access Permit is required for:

  • Any new driveway or agricultural field entrance onto a Washington County road.
  • Any proposed street or commercial access.
  • If a change in the use of a property that adjacent to a County road occurs, the County has a right to review access to the County road and to require a new permit.

Access Permit fees are as follows:

Residential Driveway or Field Entrance $150
Commercial Access $500
Street Access $500*
* The Street Access permit fee is waived when the application is made by a City or Township.

In addition to the applicable fee, a refundable deposit is required, based on the scope of work.


Culverts


A culvert pipe is generally required unless curb is present.

The permit holder is required to provide a pipe that meets County standards. 

Plan Submission

When applying for an Access Permit, please include a drawing of the site.

For a simple driveway, a line drawing is sufficient.

For a commercial access, the County will need to review the plans for the development and may require a traffic study.

Generally, if access is available from a local street, the County will not permit direct access to the County road.

Please call Carol Hanson at 651-430-4313 with questions.
