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 and may have been recorded by the Pierce County Auditor's Office.
City Street Maintenance
Streets inside city or town limits are maintained by that city. For assistance, contact the appropriate municipal office.
State Highway Maintenance
State-maintained roads are paved or concrete roads designated as either an interstate, U.S. highway or state highway. Contact Washington State DOT Maintenance and Operations to request maintenance.
