Who pays for road repair?
We live on a private street, there are 27 houses on this street.
How do we divide the cost? Some people only use 26 feet of the street,
others might use up to 1700 feet. Is there a formula for dividing the cost fairly? The cost will be about 75000.00

So I am assuming you are some type of development, correct? Your county laws should cover who pays (but I bet you the law says you guys). There should be an easement and something in the by-laws of your home owners association about it and even a road maintenance agreement. If not, then you may become embroiled in litigation about it. Seek help from an attorney. Good luck.
