Erie County has no countywide driveway parking ordinance. Rules on parking in your driveway, driveway setbacks, surfacing, and curb cuts are set by your town, city, or village, with driveway permits along county roads handled by the county DPW.
How you may park in or build a driveway on residential property is a municipal matter in Erie County. Towns and cities like Buffalo, Amherst, and Cheektowaga set driveway setback, width, surfacing, and front-yard parking rules through their zoning and building codes. Where a new driveway connects to a county-maintained highway, the Erie County Department of Public Works issues the driveway or work permit for that access point, but it does not regulate how many cars you park on your own driveway. For paving rules, front-yard parking limits, or driveway dimensions, contact your town or city building department; for a driveway access permit onto a county road, contact Erie County DPW.
Driveway and front-yard parking violations are enforced by municipal code-enforcement offices; unpermitted county-road access is enforced by Erie County DPW.
