Beware of Unlicensed Asphalt Pavers in Monroe County

A Monroe County Building Department Unlicensed Contractor Investigator cited an unlicensed asphalt paver and the business owner who hired the company last week. The asphalt company was from New Jersey. Fines could be up to $2,000 for the violations.

"The public needs to know that there are people out there who will try to do work like this, and it is not legal without the proper permits," said Monroe County Building Official Rick Griffin.

Monroe County requires all property owners or licensed contractors to pull a permit for things like paving and asphalt. The property owner could also incur additional fines from Code Compliance for unpermitted improvements to the property.
