Curb Cut Application

What Is It?

You need a curb cut permit when you make a new driveway in an existing sidewalk curb. The curb cut permit is often part of a building construction permit. The City of Lincoln oversees curb cut permits, because curbs are on the City right-of-way. However, we review, approve, and issue the permits. 

 

When you design your curb cut size and location, consider:

  • Tree and power pole clearances
  • The size and number of curb cuts allowed on your property
  • The required distance between your curb cuts and those on nearby property

What It Isn't

A curb cut permit does not address parking and car storage or location, size, and number of parking spots.

How Much Does it Cost

We charge as basic $50 for each curb cut on all types of property.
