Driveway Paving Cost in Windsor (2026)

As of March 1, 2026, a residential driveway permit in Windsor costs $298.00. Additionally, the city requires a minimum $1,000.00 indemnity fee (security deposit) which is typically refundable after a successful final inspection of the public right-of-way portion.

For a residence with a two-car garage, the maximum curb cut or edge of pavement width is 7.0 metres (approximately 23 feet). For single-car garages, the limit is 4.5 metres (15 feet). In all cases, the driveway cannot exceed 50% of the total lot frontage.

Asphalt is the most common choice due to its flexibility during Windsor's freeze-thaw cycles and lower cost ($6.50–$12.00/sq ft). However, concrete ($15.00–$25.00/sq ft) is increasingly popular for its 30+ year lifespan, provided it is installed with proper reinforcement and a broomed finish as per City Standard AS-222.

Yes, the City of Windsor requires two mandatory inspections: one for the stone base before the final surface is poured or paved, and a final inspection once the work is complete and restoration (like backfilling) is finished. Failure to call for a base inspection can result in permit delays or fines.
