Encroachment

The Encroachment Agent is responsible for issuing permits for work performed in a county right-of-way or abutting county roads (i.e. driveways). Applications with drawings of projects are submitted to the Encroachment Agent and the project is researched, a field review is done, and permits are issued.

A final inspection is performed to close the project and to ensure the work was properly accomplished per state and/or county specifications. The encroachment agent also serves as a Purchasing Agent and is responsible for procurement of office materials, county signs, safety equipment and supplies as needed by the field crews.

Please note that payment must be received before the application can be processed. If you are unsure of the amount to pay, please contact our office and one of our staff will be happy to assist you. We accept cash, check, money order, and debit/credit card- however, please do not mail cash- if you plan to pay with cash, please hand deliver that to our office. Processing usually has a very short turnaround time depending on the scale of the project. Once approved, your receipt and a copy of the application with your permit number will be mailed, emailed, or handed back to you (depending on your method of delivery)- this will serve as your permit. Please do not start work until you have received this.
