 Step 1 of 1

Application Process. Complete and submit this form when requesting an permit for a driveway approach, curb cut or sidewalk replacement. Staff will process the application and send an invoice for applicable fees once approved. A permit will be issued and sent to applicant upon receipt of payment. 

Sidewalks. Homeowners may replace up to two (2) sections of sidewalk with an approved permit. Homeowners wishing to
replace more than two (2) sections of sidewalk are required to secure a homeowner’s bond and submit the bond with
the permit application.

Lane Reductions & Road Closures. At least seventy-two (72) hours* before work commences, submit an application for the street closure, lane reduction and any associated detours necessary to complete the work at www.davenportiowa.com/roadwork.  *The seventy-two hour timeframe is a minimum, when possible requests can, and should, be submitted seven (7) to ten (10) days in advance.

All street closures and lane reductions are to be removed immediately after the work is complete.

Failure to follow this process will result in fines ranging from $100 to $500 each day a violation exists.  The City has
the right to, and will issue, a Notice and Order to Stop Work when necessary.
