Departments : Road & Bridge : Road Approaches
All road approaches built on designated "County" roads require a "Road Approach Permit". The permit fee is $25 and will be issued by the County Engineer's office at the Burleigh County Highway Department. The Engineering staff will make an on site survey to observe the drainage issues and determine the culvert length and diameter. In addition, consideration will be given to zoning requirements, county policy, frequency, and the general location regarding site distance and a generally safe location for the motoring public. You will be contacted when the permit is completed. Depending on seasonal workload, allow 1 to 3 days for the approach site inspection. The expense, maintenance and construction of the approach is the responsibility of the requesting property owner.
Road approaches on some township roads follow the same guidelines as stated above. All of the unorganized townships and townships within the control of the Bismarck/Burleigh County Planning and Zoning follow these guidelines. To find out if your property is in this zoning, simply call the Engineers Office with your legal property description.
In all other organized townships, contact a member of the township board for their requirements and instructions. Click here for a complete township listing.
To obtain a permit, follow the procedures below:
- Stop by the Burleigh County Highway Department at 2000 N 52nd St, or
- Call the office at 221-6870, or
- Fax the permit to the office at 221-6872. Click here to download the Road Approach Permit.
You will need:
- A detailed legal description of the property
- Desired location of approach must be marked with a stake or flag. Be sure to mark the center of the desired approach location.
- A fee of $25 must be paid at the Burleigh County Highway Department (credit cards are not accepted).
- A photo I.D. is required to pick up the permit, as the signature on the permit is notarized.
All permits are recorded at the County Recorder's office after they have been notarized. Once we have received the permit back from the Recorder's office, the original permit will be mailed to the registered property owner.
All rural subdivisions lots are allowed only one approach. If a second approach is desired, the request will be heard by the County Commission at a regular monthly meeting. The procedure for requesting a second approach is listed below.
