Babylon driveways require a curb cut permit from the Highway Department. Residential driveways cannot exceed 20 feet in width at the property line, and paving must be permeable or drain onto the owner's property, not into the street, per Chapter 213 and Chapter 151 (Stormwater).
Curb cut applications cost roughly $150 and require a sketch showing drainage, sight triangles, and setback from the side lot line (minimum 3 feet). Circular driveways are allowed only on lots at least 100 feet wide. Parking is permitted on approved driveway surfaces only (asphalt, concrete, pavers, or stabilized gravel) and never on front lawns. Multi-family properties must provide 1.5 spaces per unit under Chapter 213.
Unpermitted curb cut: $500 and restoration at owner expense. Lawn parking: $100 per day of violation. Oversize driveway: stop-work and removal order.
