The Winnebago County handles a wide variety of highway and road related issues.  Who is responsible for the road?, What do I do about paint on my car from road striping? are just a few of the many questions we hear at the highway department.  Please visit our Q & A page to find out what the highway department does on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis.  This list will grow as time passes, so please visit often. 

We will also have information pages for Centralized Agencies Permitting System (CAPS), Snow Removal Policies, Road Jurisdiction Information, etc....Coming soon!!!
