Camillus driveway apron
Camillus Driveway Apron: Three Permit Paths, One Road in Front of You
Your Camillus apron is cracked or crumbling, and before anyone pours a new one you need to know whether the town, Onondaga County or New York State owns the road. The permit comes from that owner, and your contractor should tell you which one in writing.
Your Camillus apron, once booked with a contractor we introduce, carries $100 off your first job.

This fits when
Situations that call for driveway apron work
The apron is cracked through or crumbling at the road
Broken pieces at the street edge let water in. That water goes under the slab and loosens it.
You are widening, narrowing or moving the entrance
Changes to an entrance are the jobs that most clearly need the road owner's approval first.
The road was repaved and your apron is now higher
A lip at the seam is a trip hazard and catches plow blades. It is also a reason to ask who owns the road.
Water runs down the drive and into the street
Where the apron meets the road, drainage is shared with the road owner. On a county road, a ditch or pipe built to serve your driveway is yours to keep clear. Ask the town or state about theirs.
Questions
Driveway apron questions from Camillus homeowners
- 1
Do I need a permit for a Camillus apron?
The town's checklist asks for a driveway permit from the county, the town Highway Superintendent or the state, depending on the road. Ask the Code Enforcement Office to confirm which one covers your frontage.
- 2
What does a county road mean for my driveway?
The owner answers for the stretch between the edge of the right of way and the pavement, and for snow and ice there. County permits are valid for one year once approved, so do not let one lapse while you wait for a pour date.
- 3
Can my contractor pull the permit?
Ask. The county permit calls for a site plan or sketch, and fees vary by job. Decide before the contract is signed who handles it and who pays for it.

Three desks, depending on your road
The Town of Camillus counts 99.8 miles of town road, 46.8 miles of county road and 14.2 miles of state road. Its building checklist accepts a county DOT driveway permit signed by the Code Enforcement Officer, a Town Highway permit approved by the Highway Superintendent, or a state DOT permit. Which one applies to you is the road's doing, not yours.
Start with the street and the slab.
Inside the village, only 4.1 miles of street are village-owned, with 0.6 miles of county road and 0.8 of state. If you live there, ask the village which desk covers your frontage.

Book first, then the $100 comes off.
If your road is a county road
On an Onondaga County road, the owner carries the driveway between the boundary of the right of way and the pavement edge, along with the snow and ice on it. The county wants its own right of way work permit before you change an existing driveway there, widening and repaving included. A new driveway needs an access permit, with a published residential fee of $15 a drive and a $500 deposit that comes back after the county inspects the finished work.
You and the contractor should settle who applies. The county runs a road maintenance facility in Camillus, at Warners.
What to settle before the apron is poured
Which permit covers my frontage, and who files it? What mix goes into an apron that sees salt from the road and from your own tires? In which month will it be poured?
Ask for the answers on the quote. A snowy county like Onondaga, which says it averages 122 inches a year, is hard on an apron that was poured late.
