Ogden Asphalt Paving Guide: Costs, Permits, and Timing

Ogden has warm summers, cold winters with frequent freezes, and rain that peaks in May, and the City requires a right-of-way permit, pulled by a bonded and insured contractor, for driveway approach work. This guide covers Ogden's right-of-way permit rules and how to time paving around the local weather. We did not find a published Ogden 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 Ogden 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.

Right-of-way permit. Ogden's Applying for a Right-of-Way Permit page explains how contractors apply in person, by email to permits.eng@ogdencity.gov, or online. The site plan for a driveway approach being widened must show the new edge of the driveway and notes on the work, and a traffic control plan is required.

Insurance and bond. The same page says contractors need at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and a License and Permit Bond: $5,000 for paving and flatwork only, or $25,000 for excavation deeper than 12 inches. The permit must be activated 1 to 2 business days before work by calling Engineering Permits at (801) 629-8990.

Ogden weather and the best time to pave

NOAA's 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Ogden-Hinckley Airport show about 16.4 inches of rain a year. May is the wettest month at about 2.17 inches, and July is the driest at about 0.35 inches.

July highs average about 91 degrees, and the station averages about 49 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter. Winters bring about 121 nights a year at freezing or colder, and January highs average about 36 degrees.

Our tip for Ogden 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.
