Driveway Permits for County Maintained Roads
The first step in obtaining a driveway permit is to call the County
Highway Department, (931) 648-5740. The Highway Department will then send the
Traffic Control Foreman to your proposed site to inspect for suitability
of access and to determine culvert requirements.
The Highway Department will then contact you and inform you of the
Traffic Control Foremans' findings. If a culvert is needed you will then
be notified of the size required. At this time you may you may apply for your driveway permit at the County Highway department located at 1213 Highway Drive, between 6:30 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday.
For driveways requiring a culvert you will pay a deposit on a bond
according to the size of the culvert required. If a culvert is not
needed there will be a $250 frontage fee. After you have finished all
work and the driveway is completed, your installation will be
reinspected. If the reinspection results are satisfactory the deposit
will be returned.
***Please Note - The driveway must be completed before it will be reinspected.
