Re: RE-DOING DRIVEWAY

keep in mind- if you widen the curb cut you will need approval from the town and your taxes will increase. But if you widen just the top by your garage you're good to go.

Good Luck!!

Re: RE-DOING DRIVEWAY

Besides the curb cut, you have to be careful how close to the property line you put the driveway. In my town (Islip), you have to be at least four feet from the property line. I think if you want to go closer than that, you need a variance and a permit.
