All oversize loads entering the City of Sunrise Beach Village in Llano County must conform to the requirements set by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

Generally, any vehicle exceeding 8 feet 6 inches in width, 14 feet in height, or exceeding 80,000 lbs gross vehicle weight should obtain an oversize load permit from the Sunrise Beach Village Public Works Department. Remember that this is just a general rule of thumb, and specific load configurations may require permits even if under these dimensions.

Sunrise Beach Village, given its proximity to Lake LBJ, experiences increased traffic during the summer months and holidays. Ensure that your permit application accounts for potential delays due to higher traffic volume, especially on Ranch Road 2341 and FM 2233.

Escort vehicles are required in Sunrise Beach Village when the load exceeds 12 feet in width or 16 feet in height. Loads exceeding 14 feet in width or 18 feet in height will require two escort vehicles, one in front and one in the rear.

While Sunrise Beach Village does not mandate local police escorts, TxDOT regulations may require them depending on the load dimensions and route. Contact the Llano County Sheriff's Office for potential availability and associated fees if TxDOT requires a police escort for your specific route and load. Scheduling typically requires at least 72 hours' notice.

To apply for an oversize load permit in Sunrise Beach Village, contact the Public Works Department directly at (325) 385-3526. While the City doesn't have an online application portal, they will provide the necessary forms and instructions via email or fax.

Required documentation includes a detailed route plan, vehicle registration, insurance information, and a description of the load. Be prepared to provide axle weights and spacing to ensure compliance with bridge weight restrictions, particularly on RR 2341. The City Engineer may request a structural analysis for exceptionally heavy loads.

Time-of-day restrictions are in effect during peak traffic hours in Sunrise Beach Village. Oversize loads are generally prohibited from traveling between 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

Seasonal restrictions may apply during major holidays and events, such as the Fourth of July and Lake LBJ boat races. Check with the Public Works Department for specific dates and restrictions.

Certain residential areas and narrow streets within Sunrise Beach Village are restricted for oversize loads. In particular, avoid using Bermuda Drive and Sandy Beach Road unless absolutely necessary, as these routes have limited clearance and turning radius.

The standard permit fee for oversize loads in Sunrise Beach Village is relatively low, but additional charges may apply based on the size and weight of the load, as well as the complexity of the route. Fees are determined by the City Engineer.

Fees can increase significantly if a structural analysis of a bridge is required or if the load necessitates road closures or traffic control measures.
