Concrete Contractors in Belton, MO

Belton publishes a clear list of which projects need permits, and concrete contractors in Belton use it to plan driveway and patio work. The city's building permit requirements say a building permit is needed for new or expanded driveways and for paving an existing gravel driveway, and that concrete is required in the right-of-way. Any structural or utility work in the right-of-way, including replacing a driveway in the same location, needs a Public Works permit.

What the list says

From Belton's building permit requirements sheet:

• New or expanded driveways, and paving of gravel driveways: building permit, with concrete required in the right-of-way
• Replacing a driveway in the same location: Public Works permit for the right-of-way part
• Uncovered patios and walkways under 30 inches above grade: no building permit
• Covered patios: building permit
• Sheds over 120 square feet: permit, with a listed maximum of 200 square feet
• Retaining walls over 30 inches: permit, with a guard rail; walls over 4 feet need engineered plans
• Land disturbance or clearing: Public Works permit

Zoning standards like coverage limits and setbacks still apply to exempt projects. We match each part of your project to the right permit.

A railroad town that became a suburb

Belton was platted in 1871 and likely named for surveyor Capt. Marcus Lindsey Belt. It stayed near 1,000 people for decades, then grew from 1,233 in 1950 to 12,270 in 1970 and 23,953 in 2020. Temperance leader Carrie Nation is among its notable former residents. The city sits at about 1,099 feet in northwestern Cass County, west of I-49 and US 71, roughly four miles from the Kansas border.

Two eras of homes

Homes from Belton's 1960s growth often have narrow, aging driveways, worn steps and small patios. Neighborhoods from the 1990s and 2000s, when the population climbed from 18,150 to 23,116, tend to need extensions and widenings rather than full replacement. Some older properties still have gravel drives, and converting them to concrete is a common job. Under the city's rules that conversion needs a building permit, and the approach must be concrete.

Built for Missouri weather

Exterior concrete here goes through freeze-thaw cycles, salt and summer heat. We use air-entrained mixes on all outdoor work, compact the base before forming, and slope every slab away from the house.
