Boone County, KY Sidewalk & Pedestrian Rules: Encroachment Permits (2026)

61 is its operating rule: any firm, individual or governmental agency, municipal or public utility company that wants access to a road in the right-of-way system, or wants to perform any type of work on that right-of-way, must obtain a permit from the Public Works Director or a designee, and contractors doing the work must keep a copy of the permit, authorization letter and detailed work drawings on hand at all times. 62 clarifies that no permit issued under this policy licenses work that conflicts with any other agency having jurisdiction, so the applicant still has to separately satisfy state, federal or other local approvals.

63 bars transferring a permitted right to someone else without the Public Works Director's written consent, and requires written consent from all affected abutting owners upfront whenever a joint driveway or similar shared-frontage work is involved. 64 governs applications for excavating or filling: anything over 1,000 cubic yards on a highway right-of-way needs the Director's direct concurrence, and the Director can deny a permit outright if the work would hurt natural drainage, expose unsightly views, cause erosion or stability problems, or increase maintenance burdens. 11, passed August 29, 1995.
