You know it is bad when you are outside admiring the patch job the town did on your road - you know it's even worse when you are not alone out there admiring. My street (or we street as we call it in my house) had potholes that were literally deeper than 6 inches... And cars were getting damaged, but because we aren't a town road the town is not obligated to fix them but because we pay town taxes we aren't ALLOWED to fix them (or something like that - liability or something) anyway so we have been going for years with hundreds of DEEP potholes on my half mile road and then yesterday I heard a noise that sounded like a big truck turning in my driveway and so I looked out and it was better than a big truck turning in my drive it was a TOWN TRUCK parking in my driveway while they made repairs to the street! I wanted to go hug them... >---I (that is a martini glass) to my new found friends the town truck guys who have made there way up the Joy chain to the level of the trash boys (which is about as good as it gets in my world)

You should find out what needs to be done to get the road accepted as a Town road. Usually it's the width or depth of the paving that is the issue. Another option is to band with your neighbors and form an association and all contribute to a fund that will keep up with the repairs. If you are not on a Town road - also see if that fact is noted in your assessment. It may be a negative in terms of value, thereby decreasing your taxes from what they would be otherwise.
