Commercial Driveway/Sidewalk (DS) Permit Requests

Commercial Driveway/Sidewalk (DS) Permit Requests

These requests are for Commercial DS permits that are tied to a building permit (BP). If you have a BP, one DS permit has automatically been created.

If your work will occur on more than one street, each street will require its own DS permit.

If you need more than one DS *or* your request is not tied to a BP, please fill out an application online at https://abc.austintexas.gov. To read more about DS permits visit our webpage.

If you still have additional questions or to withdraw your application, email rightofway@austintexas.gov.
