Amarillo Asphalt Paving Guide: Costs, Permits, and Timing

Amarillo has hot summers, cold winters with frequent freezes and snow, and rain that peaks in August, and the City exempts driveways inside your lot lines from building permits but not the approach at the street. This guide covers published local price ranges, Amarillo's driveway permit rules, and how to time paving around the local weather. The contractor list above shows paving pros who serve Amarillo on Main Street.

What asphalt work costs in Amarillo

We only list numbers from published sources that give a Amarillo figure. All figures in this table come from HomeBlue's Amarillo cost guides, published in 2022, so expect current quotes to differ. Treat them as a starting point, not a quote.

Amarillo bids often change with base preparation, the condition of an older driveway, and whether the driveway approach at the street is part of the job. HomeBlue's sealing guide also notes that some contractors charge a $75 to $100 mobilization fee on small driveways. We did not find a sourced local figure for pothole patching alone, so ask for repair as its own line item.

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.

What needs a permit. Amarillo Building Safety's permit exempt work page lists driveways inside private property lot lines as exempt, but excludes the approach. Work started without a required building permit has a $250 late fee plus the permit fee on the first occurrence.

Right-of-way permit. The City's Right of Way Division manages permits for construction in the right-of-way. It lists the right-of-way permit fee at $260 plus a $10 technology fee, and a $500 per day fee for work without a permit. Applications go through the e-Builder system, and right-of-way work is not allowed on weekends or between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m. on weekdays without approval. The division is at (806) 378-9334.

Amarillo weather and the best time to pave

NOAA's 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the Amarillo airport station show about 19.7 inches of rain and melted snow a year. August is the wettest month at about 2.86 inches, and February is the driest at about 0.53 inches. About 10.2 inches falls from June through September.

July highs average about 93 degrees, and the station averages about 72 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter. Winters bring about 108 nights a year at freezing or colder and about 17.2 inches of snow, and January highs average about 52 degrees.

Our tip for Amarillo homeowners: late spring through early fall is the best window for paving and sealcoating. Fresh asphalt and sealcoat need warm, dry days, so plan around the long freeze season. Summer work should start early in the morning.
