Engineering staff assist the general public by providing information on streets, utilities, subdivisions, annexations and public works projects; answering complaints; and analyzing problems concerning City utilities and public works matters.

Driveway Permits

The City of Asheboro Engineering Department encourages all applicants for driveway permits requesting a new or changed connection to a city-maintained street to apply online through the city's Permit and Development Portal.

Applying online will expedite the Department's review and processing of the application. A permit can be requested by using Application #12 in the portal. Please be sure to review the application's terms of agreement carefully; it is recommended that an applicant upload a plan detailing the proposed driveway with dimensions and, if applicable, pipe material and size.

Driveway permits for a new or changed connection to a NCDOT-maintained street must be submitted to NCDOT and not the City. For questions about the NCDOT permit process, please call the district office at 336-318-4000.
