Driveway Permit

Description:
A driveway permit is required anytime a person, firm or corporation constructs a driveway onto a street or alley right of way.  A permit may be necessary  from the Illinois Department of Transportation or the County Highway Office if the roadway is under their jurisdiction.

Application:
Driveway permits are issued by the City Engineer.  The City Engineer's Office is located on the 2nd floor of City Hall, 730 Maine Street.  Personnel in the Engineering Office will be able to tell you if the roadway is under another highway department's jurisdiction.  Commercial driveways require the approval of the City Council.

Requirements:
Driveways generally shall be constructed of 6 inch concrete.  The driveway shall be constructed to accommodate the sidewalks that adjoin the driveways.  The sidewalk should be continued through the driveway to remain accessible.  The removal of the existing curbing will be the responsibility of the permit holder.

Permit Fee Schedule:
The driveway opening permit fee is $2.00.
