Q: Do my property taxes pay for my road to be paved?

A:  No. The paving or resurfacing funds do not generally come from property taxes. They come from gas tax
     revenues from the Lee County area.

     our road, the county will automatically pave it?

Q: What is the method Lee County DOT uses to select the roads that are paved?

     consulting firm.
