Grants Pass Asphalt Paving Guide: Costs, Permits, and Timing

Grants Pass has hot summers, cool winters with regular freezes, 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 Grants Pass encroachment permit rules and how to time paving around the local weather. We did not find a published Grants Pass 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 Grants Pass 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. Grants Pass' Encroachment Permit submittal requirements say a permit from the Community Development Department is needed before placing, constructing, or repairing any curb, gutter, sidewalk, driveway, or pavement in the public right-of-way. Requests go to the Engineering Department, and the review is completed within seven calendar days.

Fees. The fee is a base fee of $92.75 plus a charge based on the quantity of work, listed at $0.45 per square foot for a driveway approach.
