Construction of driveways,
sidewalks, culverts whenever applicable, or the
replacement of existing driveways, sidewalks or
culverts on County or public easements on
rights-of-way without first securing a permit is
prohibited.
The public right-of-way is the
area between your front property line and the
centerline of the roadway. To ensure that
construction in this area is done in accordance with
the
Driveway and Culvert Regulations, a permit is
necessary. These permits are processed using
the Driveway and Culvert Permit application.
Situations where a permit is required:
- New commercial culvert
placement.
- Extension of existing
culverts.
- Widening of existing
driveways.
- Replacement of driveway or
culvert.
- Repair of existing
driveways.

Rights of Way and Harris County Flood Control
Districts, see the Right-of-Way Notifications

The documents that must be
submitted for a Driveway and Culvert permit are:
- Driveway and Culvert permit
application.
-
An accurate Site Plan
depicting existing traffic conditions.
-
Approved traffic control plan
as necessary.
