Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit for pavers, driveway, or hardscape in Florida?

It depends. Whether pavers, driveway, or hardscape needs a permit in your local jurisdiction comes down to the details of your project. Whether pavers or a driveway need a permit varies by jurisdiction and by what and where you are paving. Some jurisdictions require a zoning permit for any residential pavers or driveway, while others trigger a permit mainly by slab size and location. Any work in the public right-of-way, such as a driveway approach, commonly needs a separate right-of-way permit.
