Akron requires vehicles to park on approved hard surfaces. Parking on unpaved areas or lawns is prohibited. Driveways must be properly constructed and maintained. Driveway modifications require a permit from the city.
Under Akron's housing and zoning codes, vehicles must be parked on paved or approved surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, or gravel driveways. Parking on grass, dirt, or landscaped areas is prohibited. Driveways must not block public sidewalks. New driveway construction or significant modifications require a right-of-way permit. The maximum driveway width is regulated by zoning district.
