What does a paver driveway cost in Rotonda West?
About $14 to $22 per square foot installed, so a 560-square-foot driveway runs roughly $7,800 to $12,300 plus demolition and Charlotte County's fees ($22 zoning review, $310 line and grade) with a recorded Notice of Commencement over $5,000. The association's approved colors decide the blend.

What's different about driveways in Rotonda West
Rotonda's driveways are 1970s to 2000s builder slabs on Myakka sand with a canal-fed water table, mostly settled and cracked, on curbed streets without swales in most sections. Replacement in pavers means a 6-inch base compacted in lifts over geotextile, herringbone for the tires, a poured curb where the field meets the street, and a blend from the association's list, usually light tan or gray with a contrasting soldier course. Sealing runs every 2 to 3 years, closer to 2 on canal lots.
Charlotte County permits and inspects every paver field.
Rules that apply here
Charlotte County residential driveway permit, inspections, NOC over $5,000, published fees (rules); Rotonda West Association review of exterior changes.
A worked example
A 1992 home in the Oakland Hills section with a 560-square-foot builder driveway cracked at the garage. Charlotte County permit and NOC; association approval on a light tan blend. Scope: demolition, compaction of the backfill along the garage, a 6-inch crushed base in three lifts on geotextile, 45-degree herringbone with a charcoal soldier course, a concrete edge at the street line, polymeric sand, line-and-grade inspection, sealing at 30 days. Planning range: $10,000 to $14,000 including fees.
Which comes first in Rotonda, the county permit or the association?
Submit both at once; the association usually wants the county permit number on its form, and the county doesn't ask about the association. Approvals overlap and the start date follows the later one.
