FAQ

  • How is the Hardeman County Highway Department funded?

    Our funding comes from the state fuel tax and the local wheel tax. The Highway Department receives $40 from each vehicle registration fee.

  • I need a driveway culvert. Can you help me?

    The Highway Department will conduct a site visit to measure the ditch and determine the appropriate size for the culvert. The property owner is responsible for purchasing the culvert from a supplier. The department will then install the culvert according to the required specifications, free of charge.

  • How do I report a problem (like a downed tree or potholes on county roads)?

    Please contact our office at (731) 658-5102 to report any issues you have encountered. We are committed to addressing your concerns and will make every effort to provide a timely resolution. However, please note that we cannot guarantee a specific timeframe for completion.

  • Do you remove dead animals?

    We will only remove dead animals if they are impeding the movement of traffic on county roads.

  • Can we do work for roads that are off the county right-of-way?

    No. Counties are generally not authorized to perform work on private roads or roads that are not part of the county road system and within the county right-of-way. Doing so may violate state law and could result in the misuse of public funds or equipment.
