(A) No person shall attempt to gain access to a county road from adjoining property unless the person first applies to the Office of the County Judge for a permit.
(B) The County Judge shall maintain in his or her office a system of regulations and rules providing specifications and requirements for accessing county roads, and a copy of the regulations and rules shall be provided to an applicant for a permit for access to the county road system upon request.
(C) Before a permit is approved by the County Judge's office, the County Judge shall personally, or through his or her authorized representative, approve the access, and upon approval of the means of access and the construction of the access way shall issue the permit.
(D) All permits shall be duly recorded in the Office of the County Clerk, and shall be effective after the date of issuance for an indefinite period for so long as the access and access ways are properly maintained as provided by the regulations of the County Court.
(E) The County Judge's office shall charge the sum of $100 as a bond for the construction of the access and a temporary permit. Upon completion of the access and approval of construction by the County, the amount shall be refunded and the access permit issued.
(F) Access roads currently existing onto county roads shall not be subject to requiring a permit in order to continue use of the access points. However, the County Judge, or his or her authorized representative, may inspect any existing access and if they find that the access does not comply with the rules and regulations as contained in the County Judge’s office, shall notify the owner or user of the access way that they must apply for a permit within 10 days in order to continue using the access way. Failure to obtain a permit after having been given notice of the requirement to do so shall result in the person who uses the access way being subject to the penalties provided for herein.
