All oversize loads entering the City of Cibolo, located in Guadalupe County, must conform to the requirements set by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the City of Cibolo's specific regulations.

In general, any vehicle exceeding 8 feet 6 inches in width, 14 feet in height, and exceeding the legal weight limit for its axle configuration should obtain an oversize load permit from the Cibolo Public Works Department.

Loads exceeding 16 feet in height require pre-approval from the Cibolo Public Works Department and may necessitate coordination with utility companies to ensure safe passage under power lines, particularly along FM 78 and Schertz Parkway.

Escort vehicles are required in Cibolo when loads exceed 12 feet in width, 16 feet in height, or 100 feet in length. The number of escorts required depends on the specific dimensions and route. Loads exceeding 14 feet in width typically require two escorts.

Local police escorts may be required for particularly large or complex moves, especially those impacting major intersections like FM 78 and IH-35 frontage roads. Requests for police escorts should be made at least 72 hours in advance through the Cibolo Police Department, and fees will apply based on the duration and complexity of the escort.

Time-of-day restrictions are in effect in Cibolo. Oversize loads are generally prohibited from operating during peak traffic hours (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM) on weekdays, especially along FM 78 and Main Street.

Seasonal restrictions may apply during major local events, such as the Cibolo Fest in October. Check with the Cibolo Public Works Department for specific dates and restrictions.

Certain residential neighborhoods and narrow streets are restricted for oversize loads. The Public Works Department will specify approved routes as part of the permit process. Avoid routes through older sections of Cibolo with low-hanging power lines or narrow bridges.

Permit fees for oversize loads in Cibolo are based on the dimensions and weight of the load, as well as the length of the route within the city limits. A base fee applies, with additional charges for exceeding specific size or weight thresholds.

Fees may vary depending on the complexity of the route and the need for escorts or traffic control. Contact the Cibolo Public Works Department for a detailed fee estimate based on your specific load and route.
