Fees

• Residential Driveway - $23
• Commercial Driveway - $30

Driveway permits are required for any project crossing the right-of-way (the area between your property line and the street), including replacement of an existing driveway. Seal coating, patching or minor maintenance do not require a permit.

Concrete driveways constructed on streets that have asphalt curb (no concrete curb and gutter) should stop two feet short of the road. Minnetonka Public Works will pave the final two feet to ensure snow plow access. Contact public works at (952) 988-8400 for more information or to coordinate pavement.

The size of your garage determines the maximum width of your driveway in the right-of-way (the area between your property line and the road).

• Two-car garages: maximum driveway width of 20 feet
• Three-car garages: maximum driveway width of 30 feet

Driveway entrances or exits must be constructed a minimum of 45 feet from any corner.

The maximum allowable driveway grade is 10 percent. Please contact the City of Minnetonka’s engineering department at (952) 939-8200 with questions regarding this requirement.

You are permitted to have two driveway accesses if your property is at least 110 feet wide along the street. The combined width of the driveway cannot exceed 35 feet.

Contact Hennepin County for permitting requirements if a driveway will directly access a county road. Apply for permits with Hennepin County’s e-permitting system.

Driveways connecting to private roads do not require a city driveway permit.
