Everything You Need To Know
A residential driveway replacement permit is required when constructing a new surface or reconstructing an existing surface, even if you’re only reconstructing half of the driveway, in most Minnesota cities. Some Minnesota cities even require separate permits and zoning reviews depending on your driveway’s entrance location, your property size, circumstances of the driveway replacement and/or installation, and more. We’ve outlined a few situations that may need city, county, or state permits and general application requirements to get you started.
Situations Where You (May) Need A Driveway Permit
- Upgrading your existing gravel or concrete driveway to paved asphalt
- Expanding your existing asphalt driveway
- Installing a new asphalt driveway
- Installing a parking pad or paved storage space that is continuous with the existing driveway
- Installing or replacing a driveway that opens into a County road/highway (may require two permits)
- Expanding or installing a driveway in St. Paul, MN requires a zoning review
General Permit Application Requirements
