Driveway Paving Cost in Jacksonville (2026)

Yes, the City of Jacksonville requires a Right-of-Way (ROW) permit for any driveway work that connects to a city street. In 2026, residential site inspection fees start at approximately $45, with additional plan review fees around $75 if modifications to the apron are required.

Concrete is generally preferred in Jacksonville due to its high heat resistance. Asphalt can soften in the Florida summer sun (reaching 95°F+), leading to rutting. While asphalt is cheaper at $4-$7 per sq ft, concrete's 30-40 year lifespan at $8-$15 per sq ft offers better long-term value.

Demolition and removal of an old concrete or asphalt driveway in Jacksonville typically costs between $3.36 and $5.02 per square foot in 2026. For a standard 600 sq ft driveway, expect to pay between $2,000 and $3,000 for full tear-out and disposal.

A standard 2-car driveway (approx. 600 sq ft) typically costs between $4,000 and $7,000 for concrete and $3,000 to $6,000 for asphalt. High-end paver installations for the same size can range from $9,000 to $15,000 depending on the material choice.
