How does the county decide to pave your street?

Question

This area has some streets paved and others are bumpy dirt roads. Does anyone know how they make the decision to pave it? Does there have to be a certain number of houses maybe?

Answer 1

Certain number of houses is correct.

Answer 2

Try to contact your local county commissioner. Are you in a rural area or a city? Usually, rural areas don't get paved unless there's a lot of traffic.

If your road does get paved, be prepared to pay higher taxes, based on the "improvement" they made to your area. :)
