Type E and Other Miscellaneous Permits

Type E permits are required for miscellaneous, long-term, right-of-way transactions (defined in Chapter 13.70 SCC) including:

• Leases
• Deeds and easements
• Latecomers cost recovery
• Utility franchises
• Road Improvement Districts
• Right-of-Way Vacation (Bulletin #101) (pdf)
• Road establishments
• Encroachment and abatement

Without a Right-of-way violation abatement and enforcement permit, it is unlawful to place or maintain any structure, object or feature within the County right-of-way. It is also unlawful to spill, dump or otherwise deposit any material on a county right-of-way. Each separate violation for each day on any part of County right-of-way is a misdemeanor and is punishable as provided in SCC 1.01.100.

To establish a county road, you need a Type E transaction. Establishment procedures may be initiated in response to council request, or, when the engineer determines that the criteria for road establishment exist, may be initiated independently by the engineer on his/her own initiative or in response to a freeholders petition.

If you want to make limited, conditional use of the County right-of-way to locate, maintain and/or operate private facilities, you must apply for and be granted a Special Permit Conditions for Right-of-Way Use Permit & Franchise Exception Permit with Conditions.
