How do I get my County-maintained road closed or taken out of the County's maintenance system?
There are two options to begin the process to have a road closed or taken out of the county’s maintenance system.
1. Any individual may obtain their own Attorney to process the closure request. York County would be notified and would attend the closing hearing but the decision to close or remove a road from the York County maintenance system would be that of the master in equity judge.
2. The other option is to send a request in writing to the County Engineer. On your request, please include your name, address, and a day-time telephone number where you can be reached to discuss details of the process. There are several steps in the overall process including mailings, advertisements in the newspaper and a public hearing that would need to be completed. This process normally takes anywhere from 12 to 18 months and does not guarantee the closure or removal of a road from the maintenance system.
