Some states may be different but in Michigan you need to get a permit to put in a driveway culvert. You have to pay to put in a driveway. The county or State will mow the grass maybe twice during the summer. If there is a defect in a small area of the ditch they may repair it at no cost. If the ditch requires a major dredging for quite some distance, the county or state will put it in the budget and property owners will vote for a millage increase. If you have say 1/4 mile that you want cleaned out, you pay for it. If small brush or trees are growing unsightly, you can remove them. Once in a while during the winter months, a county or State workcrew may come by to cut and chop it up. You have to wait a long time. If you are persistent and call often you may get it done sooner.
