Do You Really Need a Permit For Replacement?
Yes, an access permit is required for most driveway replacement or installation projects depending on the scope of the project and location. We’ve compiled a shortlist of what a Wisconsin homeowner should know when planning to replace or install a new driveway:
Wisconsin Driveway Access Permit Requirements
Some cities may not formally require a permit for a driveway installation or replacement project; however, if your city, village, or county requires a permit these may be some of the guidelines you must abide by:
- Road surfaces, shoulders, ditches, and vegetation that are disturbed during the installation must be restored to original condition at the cost of the homeowner
- Driveway access to a county road or highway may require zoning review by county departments
- A plat of survey from your residence may be required in certain cities or villages
Additional Driveway Permit Details
- Permit fee can range from $40 – $100 depending on your property location and city requirements
- Permit processing can take up to two weeks to complete (sometimes more for extensive projects)
