Keizer Asphalt Paving Guide: Costs, Permits, and Timing

Keizer has mild summers, cool winters with regular freezes, and rain that falls mostly from November through March, and a new or replacement driveway approach needs a Public Works permit. This guide covers Keizer's driveway approach permit rules and how to time paving around the local weather. We did not find a published Keizer 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 Keizer 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.

Driveway approach permit. Keizer's Application to Construct or Replace Driveway Approach and/or Sidewalk covers new and replacement driveway approaches in concrete or asphalt, with a $101 fee and a site plan for new approaches. The City notes that driveway access normally includes the area from the edge of the public road to the property line.

Inspections. Call Keizer Public Works at 503-856-3565 for a forms inspection and again for the final inspection when construction is complete. Projects within 50 feet of a waterway may also need an erosion control permit.

Keizer weather and the best time to pave

Keizer does not have its own NOAA normals station, so we use nearby Salem McNary Field. Its 1991 to 2020 normals show about 40.1 inches of rain a year. December is the wettest month at about 6.97 inches, and July is the driest at about 0.25 inches. About 27.9 inches falls from November through March.

July is the warmest month, with highs averaging about 84 degrees. Winters bring about 49 nights a year at freezing or colder, and January highs average about 48 degrees.

Our tip for Keizer homeowners: summer is the best window for paving and sealcoating, since most rain falls from November through March. Sealcoat needs dry days to cure, so watch the forecast in spring and fall.
