Driveway parking in unincorporated Columbia County follows county zoning and property-maintenance code. Vehicles must sit on an approved surface, cannot block a sidewalk or right-of-way, and front-lawn parking is prohibited.
Georgia sets no statewide residential driveway-parking rule; Columbia County handles it through its zoning and property-maintenance provisions. Vehicles must be parked on an approved paved or gravel driveway, not on lawns or unpaved front yards, and may not block a public sidewalk. A new driveway or a widened curb cut requires a county permit, and a driveway connecting to a state route requires Georgia DOT approval. Inoperable or unregistered vehicles cannot be stored in open view under the county's nuisance rules. HOA covenants in the Evans and Martinez subdivisions may further limit driveway parking.
Blocking a sidewalk draws a citation; lawn parking and an unpermitted curb cut bring county code-enforcement fines and a correction order. Junk vehicles trigger nuisance-abatement action.
