Apply for a Paving Permit

Step 1.What Permits Will You Need?

Paving permits are required for paving work at both residential and commercial properties. If you are creating or replacing a driveway or parking lot, you will need to get a paving permit. If you will be performing any work in the public right-of-way (like repairing a sidewalk or driveway approach), you will also need to obtain a Right-of-Way Permit.
