Will the County take my road into the County maintained road system?
The County maintained road system consists of approximately 610 miles of County
roads. The roads within the County system vary greatly in width, alignment and
surface. Due to budgetary constraints, the County cannot always perform all of
the maintenance that we would like to on roads within the existing County road
system. The County road budget comes mainly from State gas tax revenues. Taking
additional miles of road into the system does not increase our revenue
commensurate with the cost of maintaining the additional road mileage. If the
County were to take additional roads into the system, the maintenance of the
existing County roads would have to be scaled back. Therefore, it has been the
policy of the County Board of Supervisors not to take additional roads into the
County road system, except in certain circumstances.
