The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is reminding property owners that any work done to driveways that connect to a state highway require obtaining a Highway Occupancy Permit.
Obtaining this permit for a driveway that meets those criteria is required under the State Highway Law.
Permit applications can be submitted online through PennDOT’s website or through PennDOT county offices. Driveways will be inspected for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
The application and inspection fee for a residential driveway permit is $25 but property owners who do not have a permit could be subject to fines of up to $100 plus court costs.
