2002 North Carolina Residential Code for One and Two-Family Dwellings
SUBJECT:
Driveways/Walks
REVIEWED BY: Consistency Team
QUESTION:
Are driveways and walks required to be poured at final inspection?
CODE REFERENCE:
Sections R401, R403 and exception.
ANSWER:
Generally, no. Concrete drives and walks are not required to be poured at the time of the final
inspection unless the absence of the poured concrete causes a code violation. Example: A set of
exterior steps end at a driveway or walk and because the grade has been lowered to allow for the
concrete, the last step riser is greater than the maximum allowed by the Code or grade issue.
