Where can I put a driveway on my property?
New residential driveways must be located one foot off the property line. A boundary survey is required to verify property ownership, lines, and dimensions of the lot.
Existing driveways may be reconstructed in the same location.

When do I need to get a permit?

What is required for a permit?
• Application Fee: $90.00
• Administrative Fee: $5.00
• A set of drawings of the proposed driveway or approach, showing location and type of material are required upon submittal of the permit.
Note: A mechanical permit is required if radiant heat is installed into a slab, along with the building permit.
Seal coating does not require a permit or inspection.
