Under the City of Los Angeles A-Permit system, new driveway installations and driveway repairs in the public right-of-way require a permit from the Bureau of Engineering (BOE). Understanding the costs involved helps you plan your project effectively.
The A-Permit covers driveway approaches within the public right-of-way — the area where your driveway connects to the street. This work must comply with LAMC 62.105.1 (Locations of Driveway Approaches), LAMC 62.105.2 (Width of Driveway Approach Aprons), LAMC 62.105.3 (Length of Curb Space), and LAMC 62.105.4 (Slope of Driveway Approaches).
On average, a standard concrete driveway approach in Los Angeles costs between $8 and $15 per square foot. For a typical two-car driveway approach, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,000. Costs are affected by: the scope of demolition and removal, grading and soil preparation, reinforcement requirements, concrete thickness, and A-Permit fees.
All driveway construction work must be performed in accordance with the latest edition of the Greenbook Standard Specifications. If the work would alter the existing grade, a 'B' Permit may be required instead. A-Permit.com handles all permit applications and ensures your driveway approach is built to City specifications.
