Concrete Permits and Rules in Margate, FL

Margate has one of the most detailed driveway permit checklists in Broward County. A residential driveway, walkway or patio permit needs a notarized Broward County Uniform Building Permit Application, a signed contract, an easement affidavit, a survey and a Sunshine811 dig ticket (City of Margate).

The city also sets a construction standard. Every driveway in Margate must sit on at least 4 inches of thoroughly compacted road rock, and every disturbed area has to be restored with sod. We pour to that standard and handle the paperwork, the dig ticket and the inspections.

What Margate Homes and Properties Are Like

Margate became a town in 1955 and a city in 1961, and it is now fully built out with no rural land left. Most homes went up in the 1970s, with a median build year of 1978. Many driveways and patios on those streets are original, which puts them at 40 years or more.

The main roads through Margate are Sample Road, Copans Road, Atlantic Boulevard, SR 7/US 441 and Coconut Creek Parkway. The city sits about 7.5 miles inland, on the same sandy soil as Coconut Creek.

Concrete Problems Common in Margate

Concrete in Margate is some of the oldest we work on, and most of the problems we see come from age and from the base underneath.

Signs Your Margate Concrete Needs Work

Homeowners in Margate usually call us about one of these:

  • Original 1970s driveways often sit on a thinner base than today’s 4 inch road rock rule. A driveway that keeps cracking and sinking should be replaced on a proper compacted base.
  • Cracks in the seams between slabs let rain reach the sand underneath. Each rainy season washes more of it out, so the cracks should be sealed or the slab leveled.
  • Sunken walkways and patio edges settle on Broward sand that can stay saturated from June to September. A sunken slab should be leveled or replaced before it becomes a trip hazard.
  • Flaking driveway surfaces show the weak top layer of old, sun-baked concrete. A flaking driveway should be resurfaced before water gets under the chips.
