Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for widening my driveway?
Yes. Widening increases impervious area and requires review for drainage and open space compliance.
Can I use gravel for my driveway approach?
No. Pinecrest standards explicitly prohibit loose gravel in the approach (right-of-way) area. You must use pavers, concrete, or asphalt.
How do I schedule inspections?
Inspections are scheduled through the eTRAKiT online portal, typically with 24-hour notice.
