CONCRETE DRIVEWAY / SIDEWALK / CURB & GUTTER
Residential property owners can complete the Concrete Install Application and pay applicable fees to request that the City modify or install a new driveway entrance, sidewalk, or curb & gutter along property that serves as the owner's primary residence. If a contractor is installing these things for a property owner, a Right-of-Way Permit will need to be obtained instead. If approved by Engineering, the construction request will then be sent to the City of Salem Streets & General Maintenance Department for installation.
