The Road Administrator Is the First Stop for Rural Road and Driveway Questions
Howard County puts road and driveway permits under its Road Administrator, also identified as the County Engineer. The office page links separate permits for underground work, temporary work, commercial driveways, overhead work, and residential driveways. That is the right place to start before cutting a driveway or beginning work along a rural road.
Bring the exact road name or address and describe the work you have in mind. The county lists the office at 3604 Old Colorado City Highway in Big Spring, with a phone number of 432-264-2208 and weekday hours from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. If your question is who maintains a particular road, ask that directly too; the page does not publish a countywide maintenance list.
