How to Request Maintenance of a Non-County Road

Private Road Maintenance

Private roads have not been dedicated for public use and are not maintained by any government body.

In most cases, citizens living on the road must collaborate and establish maintenance needs and how to pay for them. Formal arrangements for private road maintenance can sometimes be found on the original plat drawings submitted to Pierce County.

Contact Planning and Land Services at (253) 798-7210 to find out if your private road has a maintenance agreement.

City Street Maintenance

Streets inside city or town limits are maintained by that city. For assistance contact the appropriate municipal office. Links to some Cities and Towns of Pierce County can help you contact them.

State Highway Maintenance

State maintained roads are paved or concrete roads designated as either an Interstate, US highway or State Highway. Contact Washington State DOT Maintenance and Operations to request maintenance.
