Prior to establishing, constructing, improving, modifying or reworking a driveway or field road that changes the topography of the land, a driveway permit is required.

The type of permit depends on the exact work being completed. It could be a driveway construction permit, a driveway improvement permit or a permit reinstatement.

Any work performed  must adhere to the requirements of the current Driveway and Field Road Ordinance.

Minor Maintenance

Any work that does not require excavation and that disturbs less than 500 square feet of land area outside the existing roadway does not require a permit. This includes:

• • Grading
• • Resurfacing by adding gravel
• • Sealcoating
• • Adding blacktop or concrete without otherwise changing the existing roadway
• • Limited ditch cleaning that disturbs less than 500 square feet of land area outside the existing roadway

Permit Expiration

Driveway permits expire three years from the date that they are signed by the Town Chair.
