Driveway Permits - $50.00

A driveway permit is required when a.) a new driveway is to be constructed; or b) an old driveway is to be modified in footprint. All work on new or modified driveways is regulated by Section 37 of the Town Code, the Driveway Ordinance. Existing driveways that are to be simply repaved or resurfaced do not require a permit. Placement of Belgian block or other non-asphalt paving products in the right-of-way requires a review by the Engineering Department, a driveway or road opening permit, and a Hold Harmless Agreement.

In order to obtain a driveway permit an application must be filed, complete with a plot plan or scaled drawing of the work and the application fee. No bond is required at this time.

Road Opening Permits- $25.00
