Driveway Blocked or Road Safety

All roads in Lake Caroline are considered public streets, apart from Caroline Pointe, Belle Pointe and Katherine Pointe. If a property owner has a concern related to the ability to access or exit their home, or any other immediate safety issue related to a road, then the property owner should contact the Madison County Sheriffs' department for assistance (601.859.2345 or 911). The County will respond to a direct request from the property owner, but not the homeowner’s association.
 
This differs from a complaint about a pothole or road maintenance related issue. Those issues are handled by the county road department (601) 855-5671.
