Can a state Road be a private road?

Have you asked whether they annexed the private road into the county or township? If it is a state road then the state may have the responsibility for upkeep on the road to prevent it from being a hazard. Start by checking with your local zoning administrator. Write or phone your elected officials to see if they can provide information.

If the land under the road is taxable who is getting the tax payments? Are there any signs on the road? If so, who placed them? These are some things that might help with who is responsible for the upkeep.

Good luck to you.
