Driveways on a State highway need a NYSDOT highway work permit (applied for online through PermiTrack). “If your residence is on a State highway, you will need a permit from the NYS Department of Transportation to build or modify a driveway.”Source: dot.ny.gov/programs/residential-driveway-permits

Town permits generally cover driveways onto town roads. If your driveway opens onto a county or state road, the apron is handled by Monroe County DOT or NYSDOT instead. Ask the town which agency covers your road.

Properties inside a village (Honeoye Falls village) may fall under village rules instead of town rules.

Built for Monroe County winters

Rochester averages about 102 inches of snow a year, with roughly 27 inches in January alone (National Weather Service normals for 1991 to 2020). That means months of plows, shovels, road salt, and water that melts in the afternoon and refreezes overnight. A driveway in Mendon goes through the same kind of freeze-thaw cycles, plows and salt, which is why every job here starts with the base and drainage, not the topcoat.
