Grand Prairie requires driveways to be constructed of approved materials such as concrete or asphalt. Vehicles must be parked on improved surfaces and may not block sidewalks. New driveway installations require permits and must meet city engineering standards.
Driveways must be concrete or asphalt and meet city Public Works specifications. Parking on grass or dirt in the front yard is prohibited. Vehicles parked in driveways must not extend over sidewalks or into the public right-of-way. Driveway width is regulated by zoning and must provide adequate access without creating drainage problems. A permit is required for new construction or modifications that affect the public right-of-way.
Parking on unapproved surface: code compliance notice. Fines after correction period. Inoperable vehicles: removal order.
