Camden County Department of Public Works, Office of Permits

County Road Opening, Access and Right-of-Way Permit

The fee figures are those listed in Section 6 of the Camden County Permit Book, whose cover states that it was adopted by the Camden County Board of Commissioners on August 17, 2023; the county's 'Updated Fees (as of August 2023)' document, linked from the live Department of Public Works page, lists the same amounts. The book lists 'Utility/Commercial Application fee $1,200.00' as its own line under the permit fees and states that resubmission of an expired permit is $200.00 plus the application fee; the book does not state how that line combines with the individual permit fees, so it is quoted here as listed. Section 6 states that where an application covers different types of permits, 'the fee associated with the highest cost permit shall be applicable', and that fees are non-refundable. Permit fees are doubled for work within county roads under the seven-year moratorium after repaving. A permit is void if work does not start within 90 calendar days. A restaurant, shop, studio or other business needs this permit only when it builds or alters a commercial driveway, sidewalk or curb on a county road; contractors need it for any work in the county right-of-way.
