In unincorporated Osceola County, residential driveways may not exceed 24 feet in width unless approved by conditional use, and driveway construction or widening requires a county driveway permit. Vehicles must park on the authorized, approved paved area.
Osceola County Code § 22-50.6 caps residential driveways at 24 feet wide unless a conditional-use approval is obtained, and requires a county-issued driveway permit for driveway construction or widening. The parking ordinance (§ 22-50.5) allows parking only on the authorized, approved paved parking area or inside an enclosed accessory structure, while § 22-50.4 prohibits parking in unpaved areas and front yards. Work within the county right-of-way (such as the apron connecting to the road) also requires a separate right-of-way permit. Cities and HOAs may impose stricter paving or driveway-material requirements.
Driveway and surface violations are enforced by code enforcement under Chapter 7; civil citations start at $250, and constructing or widening a driveway without a permit triggers permit enforcement.
