Illinois Driveway Waiver
Overview of this form
The Driveway Waiver is a legal document that allows homeowners to waive rights to repair costs resulting from damage to their brick or block paver driveways when they are installed over Village-owned right-of-way. This form is important for homeowners who opt for non-approved materials for their driveways, as it outlines the responsibilities for any damages incurred during maintenance activities.
