The Butler County Engineer's
Office requires permits for all work performed within a road's
public right-of-way in order to maintain the integrity of the
roadway system. Special Hauling Permits are also required for
overweight vehicles.
Permits are issued
by the BCEO for the County road network and all 13 townships,
since the County Engineer functions as the engineer for the townships.
Allocated for residential and commercial purposes, there is no
charge to obtain a permit.
The following forms
can be found on the Permit Application
Forms page:
- Driveway Permit
Application
- Driveway permits provide
private access to the public road system. These permits also
ensure that driveway pipes are installed per County standards.
Note: Driveway permits are subject to the Butler
County Access Management Regulations effective 1/1/2005.
-
- Right-of-Way
Permit Application
- Right-of-Way Permits
are most often issued for piped frontages -- areas where property
owners elect to install pipe in ditch lines to make them more
attractive, easier to mow, and less hazardous. These permits
help protect the county drainage system and ensure that appropriate
sized pipes are installed.
-
- Utility Permit
Application
- Utility permits ensure
that all utilities, such as phone, water, electric, gas, and
cable, are installed in the proper areas of the public right-of-way.
Safe construction and correct installation are required per standards
directed by the County Engineer.
-
- Special Hauling Permits
- Special Hauling Permits
give the County the opportunity to review overweight and oversized
loads moving through Butler County. This ensures safe equipment
and proper routing along the most appropriate roads in an effort
to minimize potential damage to the roadway system. Link to Special Hauling Permits Application
page.
All applications are
reviewed and permits are issued provided the proposed work meets
all County standards.
