Mason County raises price for 911 and private road signs; limits installation to county right-of-way
Summary
The Commissioners Court voted to raise the price of 911 signs to $25 and private road signs to $45, and to increase private-road installation costs to $80; the court specified installation will be only in the county right-of-way.
The Mason County Commissioners Court on Nov. 24 approved increases to the county fee schedule for 911 signs and private road signs and set a new installation policy.
Under the motion — moved by Commissioner Fred Estes and seconded by Commissioner Reggie Loeffler — the county price for 911 signs was raised from $15.00 to $25.00 and the price for private road signs was raised from $30.00 to $45.00. The installation fee for private road signs was increased from $70.00 to $80.00.
The court added an installation limitation: county crews will install private road signs only within county right-of-way. The motion carried.
The minutes do not record a roll-call vote or indicate the number of residents who have requested signs; the new fee and installation limitation take effect following the court's approval and apply to future requests for county-supplied signs. Residents or property owners who want private road signage should contact Road & Bridge for application and placement details.
The change was recorded as an administrative fee adjustment during a routine agenda; the court took similar procurement and scheduling actions during the same meeting, including authorizing sealed bids for Road & Bridge vehicles and approving other small-dollar purchases.
