Driveway approaches onto county roads in unincorporated Johnson County require an entrance permit from County Public Works/Engineering and must meet sight-distance and culvert standards.
In unincorporated Johnson County, connecting a driveway to a county road isn't a build-first-ask-later project. An entrance permit from County Public Works/Engineering is required before constructing a driveway approach, and the design has to meet county standards — chiefly sight distance, so vehicles entering the road can see and be seen, and culvert requirements where the driveway crosses a roadside drainage ditch. The permit process exists to protect both road drainage and traffic safety. If you're building, moving or widening a rural driveway entrance, start with Public Works before any dirt moves.
