Residential driveways in Duval must be paved or stabilized (concrete, asphalt, pavers, or compacted stabilized material). Max driveway width at the right-of-way is typically 20 ft for single-family, 24 ft for circular. Curb cuts require a Public Works permit.
Jacksonville-Duval Ordinance Code §656.405 (Off-street parking and loading) requires residential driveways to have an all-weather improved surface. Typical front setback: driveway must not occupy more than 40% of the front yard. Curb cuts and aprons in the public right-of-way require a right-of-way permit from Public Works Department. Driveway apron must match city standards (concrete at back-of-curb). Parking vehicles on unimproved grass/dirt in the front yard is a code violation except during active loading.
Parking on lawn: Notice of Violation, $75-$250 fine after cure period expires. Unpermitted curb cut: order to restore plus permit fine ($150+).
