Right of Way Permit
DOWNLOAD APPLICATION
Permit applications can be obtained at the Service Department or
downloaded (pdf file). When submitting an application for a permit, a
processing fee of $50.00 is required before any work can start. Applications should be mailed with payment or taken to the Miami
Township Service Department Office located at 5900 McPicken Drive
during office hours (M-F 8:00 am - 4:00 pm).
What type of work requires a Right-of-Way permit? Driveway repairs
or installations that require placement of a culvert pipe. Residents
who wish to fill in an open ditch with frontage tile would be required
to obtain a permit. New homes, when tapping into the water and sewer
lines located in the right-of-way require a permit. For information
regarding permits for water and sewer, please refer to Clermont County
Permit Central.
As a condition to the approval of the Right-of-Way permit, the
applicant must submit plans indicating the location, size, type, and
duration of the excavation contemplated. Methods of excavation,
refilling, and resurfacing must also be specified. The use of warning
devices may be required if necessary to protect travelers. The
Township also requires that the applicant indemnify the Township
against liability or damages as a result of the excavation. In certain
cases, a maintenance bond may be required in an amount sufficient to
satisfy any anticipated township cost associated with the excavation
and/or repair of township roads and/or right-of-ways. If you have any
question if your project would require a Right-of-Way permit, please
call the Service Department at 248-3728 or email the Service Director.
