Monmouth County Division of Engineering

County Road/Bridge Permit (Work, Occupancy or Events in the County Right-of-Way)

The Division of Engineering's Road/Bridge Permit application, dated 06/2026, states that the permit is 'REQUIRED FOR ANY AND ALL WORK, OCCUPANCY AND/OR EVENTS OCCURRING WITHIN THE COUNTY RIGHT-OF-WAY', and lists a Permit Charge of $250.00 for commercial/utility applicants and $50.00 for residents. The form states that application fees are non-refundable and that cash is not accepted. Section 5 of the county's Regulations to Protect County Roadways, Related Facilities and Excavations sets the same $250.00 and $50.00 review fees, payable with the initial application and in addition to other charges for the work. Following approval and before the permit is issued, the applicant pays a deposit and/or bond to the County Treasurer in an amount the Division of Engineering sets for the job, per the application instructions. Section 15 of the regulations states that a permit expires one year after issue unless the permit sets another period or an extension is approved before expiry. A business building or widening a driveway onto a county road works through this permit.
