Driveway Permits

NEW: Beginning Monday, February 14, 2022, driveway permits can now be applied for and viewed online via a new online portal system at https://pauldingcounty.portal.iworq.net/portalhome/pauldingcounty.  For those that wish to apply in person, there is still that option by visiting the Addressing Department on the 3rd floor of the Administration Building at 240 Constitution Blvd. Dallas or by calling 770-505-1365.  Once applied for, PCDOT will issue a mailbox permit, driveway permit, and right-of-way encroachment permit for the construction of the driveway.  The Addressing Department will email applicants an Assigned Address report to the email address provided during the application process.  The issuing of these documents takes approximately 7-10 business days.  If at any time you would like to check the status of an application, the information can be viewed using the online portal or by contacting the Addressing Department.
