Dust Control Permits

A new permit is required every year for dust control services. Old permits cannot be reused. Counties rely on this information to prepare roads, avoid grading during the season, and coordinate treatment timing.

If you have questions about the overall process, deadlines, or payment options, please visit our How to Sign Up / How It Works page or our FAQ's page .

How to Complete Your Permit

1. Fill Out Your County Permit

Complete your county’s dust control permit with all required details. Each county has its own rules, timelines, and guidelines, so please review your permit carefully.

Permits must be signed by the property resident or owner. Unsigned permits cannot be accepted or submitted to the county.

2. Provide Clear Marking & Spraying Instructions

Clearly indicate exactly where dust control should be applied so both our drivers and county blade operators know the treated areas.

You may:

•_Place flags at the start and end of the treatment area, or
•_Provide a clear written description on the permit

Drivers will follow the instructions provided. If markings or directions are unclear or missing, treatment will be applied using best judgment.

Flag Disclaimer: Deano’s Road Dust Control is not responsible for placing or maintaining flags. If flags are missing or not visible, drivers may apply treatment using reasonable judgment or the application may be canceled. Failure to properly mark treated areas may result in treatment being bladed through.

County Maintenance & Blading Disclaimer

The county reserves the right to blade treated areas at any time if road infrastructure is affected, safety is compromised, or conditions are deemed hazardous. Some county permits may require residents to maintain potholes or road conditions to help protect infrastructure. Failure to comply may result in blading.

Neither Deano’s Road Dust Control nor the county is responsible for areas that are bladed during the season. Blading is part of the county’s maintenance schedule, and Deano’s has no control over road preparation or blading decisions.
