Replacement Driveway Culverts – District Roadways

Landowners must notify the District when their culvert has been damaged, crushed, or has collapsed and is no longer functioning. There must be 12 inches of vertical open flow in order to provide the proper drainage and ensure proper stormwater management. A permit is not required from Palm Beach County for replacement of driveway culverts on properties located on District roadways. 

Basic Installation includes an 18" diameter x 20' (up to 40' allowed) steel or plastic culvert pipe, rip-rap headwall and sod, where needed, around the culvert. Fill dirt needed to cover the pipe must be supplied by the landowner and be on-site at the time of the installation. 

• $1000.00 for each basic 20' culvert installation 
• $2000.00 for each basic 40' culvert installation 

Limited Installation includes an 18" x 20' (up to 40' allowed) steel or plastic culvert pipe. Poured surface, concrete headwall, and sod are the responsibility of landowner. Prior to pouring the driveway, landowner must schedule an inspection and show proof of a Palm Beach County permit. 

• $900.00 for each limited 20' culvert installation 
• $1900.00 for each limited 40' culvert installation

Please note there is a fee of $100.00 to cut, remove, and haul away the concrete or asphalt over the surface of the culvert and a fee of $100.00 to cut or miter a 40' pipe into a smaller size if necessary. 

If landowners desire to cover their culvert and driveway with a permanent surface such as asphalt, concrete or pavers, Palm Beach County should be contacted for a permit.
