A Gulf County Roadway Culvert Permit must be obtained before work can commence on County R-O-W's. The permit may be purchased at either the Road Department in Wewahitchka, FL or the Building Department in Port St. Joe, FL. There is a $50.00 fee for the permit. Once the permit has been purchased, a representative from the Road Department will come out to evaluate the site and determine the culvert diameters and elevation. Effective June 29, 2004, the Gulf County Road Department will no longer install culvert pipes for driveways. The property owner will be responsible for the culvert installation and the Road Department should be notified as to when the work will begin. An inspection of the culvert installation will follow. |
