Los Angeles' year-round sunshine makes outdoor living spaces essential. While patios on private property may not require an A-Permit, any concrete work that extends into the public right-of-way — including driveway approaches and walkway connections — will need proper permitting through the Bureau of Engineering.
Popular patio designs include: Modern Minimalist with smooth-finished concrete, Mediterranean Retreat with stamped patterns, Indoor-Outdoor Flow designs, Multi-Level terracing, and Fire Pit centerpieces. For any work connecting to the public right-of-way, materials must meet Greenbook specifications.
When planning your patio project, consider how it connects to your driveway approach and sidewalk. If modifications to driveway approaches or walkway connections in the public right-of-way are needed, an A-Permit must be obtained first.
