Replacing, widening or adding a driveway in Richardson all need a building permit, and the contractor has to get the pre-pour inspection approved before any concrete goes in. A crew that pours before that inspection has skipped a city step.

When the new slab runs past your property line into the right-of-way, the contractor must post a concrete bond, and a new or wider driveway may also go to the Traffic Department or Capital Projects for review, which is worth building into your timeline.

Look for the approved permit posted at the house before the old driveway comes out: Richardson requires it to be up before any work begins, and every contractor on the job has to be registered with the city.

Check the company on Richardson's Registered Contractor List, which the city updates almost daily. Registration lasts one year, and if a contractor claims to be registered but isn't on the list, you can call the city to ask.
