About each permit
County Trunk Highway Access Permit – Commercial Site
A business building a new driveway or other access onto a Dane County trunk highway needs an access permit from the Dane County Highway and Transportation Department under Ord. ch. 79, which provides for "the review and approval of proposed new points of access onto county trunk highways". For a projected commercial site the fee depends on the expected average daily traffic: $245 under 100, $575 for 100 to under 1,000, and $1,125 for 1,000 or more, on both controlled-access highways (79.15(5)-(7), last amended 2021 OA-32) and general-access highways (79.31(5)-(7), last amended 2022 OA-15); a temporary access is $135 or $100. These amounts are in the codified Ch. 79 (rev. 07/31/23). A change to these fees, including new review fees, is proposed in 2026 OA-019, which was referred to committee on September 25, 2026 and would take effect January 1, 2027 if adopted.
