    Usually identified by a double yellow line down the center (e.g., Bridgetown Road, Ebenezer Road).
    → Contact the Hamilton County Engineer’s Office


  • State Roads:
    Include interstates and state routes (e.g., I-74, U.S. 50, S.R. 264).
    → Contact the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT)

Inspection Requirements

Two inspections are required to complete the permit process.
Please contact the Assistant Director of Public Services at 513-574-8832 to schedule.

  1. Form Inspection:
    After the existing driveway apron or soil has been removed to the required depth, forms are set.

Note: A 24-hour notice is required for all inspections.
If the permit holder does not request a final inspection within one (1) year of permit issuance, the permit will be nullified, and a new permit must be obtained.
