Driveway and Curb Cuts

A permit is required for the construction or modification of a drive approach or other curb cut in the Right-of-Way (street or alley).

If the driveway construction or modification is not affecting the drive approach or other curb cut in the Right-of-Way, a permit is still required if the added material exceeds 120 square feet.

• For residential driveway construction that is not associated with a building permit, a residential driveway permit application must be completed through the City’s permitting website: etrakit.cstx.gov.
• For commercial driveway construction, a site plan application must be completed through the City’s permitting website: etrakit.cstx.gov.
• For both residential and commercial projects, construction specifications indicating the depth of concrete and size and spacing of reinforcement materials are required. All paving in the Right-of-Way shall meet the paving requirements of the BCS Design Standards.
• For questions, please contact Planning & Development Services at 979.764.3570.

An inspection will be required upon completion of reinforcement and prior to pouring of concrete. To schedule an inspection please contact Planning & Development Services at 979.764.3570.
