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

01(A) bars any person, corporation, association or other entity from depositing mud, soil or debris on a county road or the right-of-way of a county road, whether directly or through equipment, without the Director of Public Works' written consent. Division (B) extends the ban to indirect causes: grading or disturbing soil in a way that lets mud or soil wash or be moved onto a county road is equally unlawful, covering construction sites and cleared lots whose runoff reaches the roadway or shoulder. When a violation is found, Division (C) requires the County Code Enforcement Officer to issue a written notice ordering either pressure-washing of the road or right-of-way or a stop-work order until it is cleaned, and the responsible party gets only four hours from the notice to comply before a complaint can be filed.

Division (D) lets the county's own Public Works Department step in and clean or remove the material itself if immediate corrective action isn't taken, billing the cost to the violating party, with liability joint and several among the developer, builder, contractor or homeowner tied to the property. 18's easement rule, this debris rule reaches material blocking or fouling the roadside sidewalk area, not just the paved travel lane.
