Driveway parking in unincorporated Forsyth County follows the Unified Development Code. Vehicles must sit on an approved paved surface, cannot block a sidewalk or right-of-way, and front-lawn parking is prohibited.
Georgia sets no statewide residential driveway-parking rule; Forsyth County handles it through the Unified Development Code 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 overhang or block a public sidewalk. A new driveway or a widened curb cut requires a county land-disturbance or driveway permit, and access to a state route along the GA 400 corridor requires Georgia DOT approval. Inoperable or unregistered vehicles cannot be stored in open view under the county's nuisance rules. HOA covenants 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.
