[quote=Anonymous]Yes, you apply for the VDOT permit and put up a bond as the homeowner. There is an office off of Old Ox and they do answer the phone - it might be worth leaving a message and having someone talk you through the process. No need to go in person for questions - you can, however, go in person to drop off the permits but they will not answer questions (I certainly did when I had such a large bond check). I found the VDOT folks very knowledgeable and helpful (if a bit inflexible) but clear all the same in what the requirements are. We did a home expansion that included a garage and the driveway + apron required a $10K bond. This was back in 2015. We did get it back in full a few months after the driveway/apron was complete, but it felt like such a chunk of money out there. We did have an ask outside of a normal apron expansion, so we did engage an engineer. I believe we paid him $4000, but our case was very unique. [/quote]
