Common Questions

Yes, a Development Permit is required for widening, replacing with new materials, or constructing a new driveway. As of 2026, the City of Edmonton charges a flat fee of $195 for this permit.

Asphalt is often preferred in Edmonton because it is flexible and can withstand the city's extreme freeze-thaw cycles without cracking as easily as concrete. However, concrete offers a longer lifespan of 30-40 years compared to asphalt's 15-20 years.

A standard two-car driveway in Edmonton typically ranges from 480 to 640 square feet (approximately 20x24 to 24x26 feet).

While the development permit is $195, a separate Curb Crossing Permit is required if you are modifying the street access. Costs for the actual construction of the curb cut are assessed based on size and current market rates, often handled as a Local Improvement charge.
