Driveway encroachments onto county roads require an Encroachment Permit from Fresno County Public Works. Driveways must provide adequate sight distance and culvert drainage where ditches exist.
Fresno County Ordinance Code requires an Encroachment Permit (under Streets and Highways Code §1450) for any new or modified driveway approach onto a county-maintained road. Public Works specifies culvert size, paving requirements, sight distance, and setbacks from intersections. Residential driveway widths generally range 12-24 ft; commercial/agricultural wider. Flag lots and rural parcels may require shared driveway agreements. Parking on an unpermitted driveway encroachment can result in removal at owner cost.
Unpermitted encroachment: stop-work, removal order, fines $100-$500+. Damage to county drainage: repair cost billed to property owner.
