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)
