Dublin requires driveway permits for new construction or widening through Engineering. Residential driveways must be paved (concrete, asphalt, or approved pavers) with maximum 24-foot curb cut in most zoning districts.
Dublin Zoning Code 153.210 requires all required parking spaces to be on a hard, dust-free surface. Gravel driveways are not permitted in R-1, R-2, or PUD residential districts. Driveway aprons within the public right-of-way must meet Dublin Engineering Standards (concrete, 6-inch thickness, ADA-compliant where crossing sidewalks). Setback from side property line typically 3 feet minimum. Circular driveways permitted on lots 100 feet wide or greater.
Unpermitted driveway work subject to stop-work orders and removal at owner expense; violations up to 500 dollars per day until compliant.
