Check the address and the full scope.
The City of Denton’s driveway guidance says a residential driveway outside the public right-of-way does not require a driveway permit. Do not assume that covers an approach, curb, sidewalk or related work.
For public-space work, review the city right-of-way permit information. Confirm the exact scope before excavation or demolition.
Patios and structures
A flat slab and a structure supported by it can have different requirements. Describe roofs, posts, utilities and attached work to Building Safety. Start at the residential permit page.
Outside city limits
Confirm jurisdiction rather than relying on the mailing address. Review Denton County development permit information for county-regulated projects. HOA approval is a separate question.
