A driveway permit is required for any NEW access onto a local public road, and/or if an existing access is altered (widened, moved, etc.). A secondary access may be granted on a case by case basis.
A driveway permit is not required for paving or resurfacing an existing driveway, unless the grade within the right-of-way is changed and/or the culvert is altered.
