Driveway Permit
Cuts in the curb for driveways require a permit. Citizens must complete and submit a Driveway Permit Application along with plans or sketch with the appropriate dimensions of the proposed driveway to the Traffic Engineering Department at 20 Interchange Drive, emailed, or fax to (912) 525-1535. Call (912) 651-6600 for more information.
The Transportation Director, or designee, will inspect the site and review plans and/or sketch to determine if the site meets minimum conditions for approval of the driveway. The Traffic Engineering Division will evaluate and process the application in a maximum of four working days from the date the application was received by the Traffic Engineering Division.
In addition to Traffic Engineering, the application form will be forwarded to the Streets Maintenance, Park & Tree, and the Storm Water Division (if applicable) for review and approval. .
