Colton Asphalt Paving Guide: Costs, Permits, and Timing

Colton has hot summers, mild winters, and rain that falls mostly from November through March, and driveway work in the public right-of-way needs an encroachment permit. This guide covers Colton's encroachment permit rules and how to time paving around the local weather. We did not find a published Colton cost guide, so we do not list local prices; get written quotes from more than one contractor. The contractor list above shows paving pros who serve Colton on Main Street.

City permits and the public right-of-way

Paving that stays entirely on your own lot does not touch the public right-of-way, but driveway, sidewalk, and curb work at the street does.

Encroachment permit. Colton's Public Works Engineering Division takes the Encroachment Permit Application for work in the public right-of-way. The application says processing can take up to four weeks, the encroachment fee depends on the type of structure and work, and the application fee is non-refundable.

Applying. Colton also offers permits through its eTRAKiT online portal. Ask the Engineering Division about driveway approach details before work starts.

Colton weather and the best time to pave

Colton does not have its own NOAA normals station, so we use nearby Riverside Citrus Experiment Station. Its 1991 to 2020 normals show about 9.9 inches of rain a year. February is the wettest month at about 2.45 inches, and July is the driest at about 0.03 inches. About 8.3 inches falls from November through March.

August highs average about 97 degrees, and the station averages about 103 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter. Freezing nights are rare, about 2 a year, and January highs average about 70 degrees.

Our tip for Colton homeowners: late spring through fall is the driest stretch for paving and sealcoating. Summer work should start early in the morning to beat the heat. Sealcoat needs dry days to cure, so plan around winter storms.
