Q: What do I do if I need my ditches filled-in?

A: If you need your ditches filled in, you need to obtain a culvert permit. In order to do this, simply come into our office and fill out a Culvert/Driveway permit. The fee for this application is $25.00. We will send someone to check the ditch at your address and note what size culvert you will need.
