I live in a very rural area and I had a few minutes so I calculated it.

I live at the end of a deadend road that is 0.9 miles off another very rural road.

The road is chip sealed, which according to google in 2022 is $25,000 to $42,000 per mile.

There are 7 parcels that collect $6396 per year in property taxes.

At the low end of the chip seal price, it would take 3.53 years to pay it off and 5.9 years at the high end.

This assumes that no sales or gas taxes are used to fund any of the road construction, which isn't true.
