Hall County, GA Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

040 requires an application to the building official before constructing or altering a driveway or curb cut on or abutting a county road right-of-way; the permit is folded into the building permit when the driveway serves new construction, or issued separately when it does not, and a use change on property with an existing driveway also triggers a review, with the occupancy permit withheld until the driveway is approved. 050 lets the building official refer the application to the public works director or planning director for a five-day review, and the applicant may appeal a denial to the planning commission.

060 limit a single property frontage to a maximum of two driveways unless the Public Works Director finds more necessary for reasonable service, require adequate sight distance in both directions, and set a minimum culvert size of a 15-inch diameter pipe with at least ten feet between culverts under successive driveways. 240 conditions every approval on the driveway being used solely to secure access to the applicant's property: it may not be used for parking or servicing vehicles, or for advertising, storage or merchandising of goods on the county right-of-way, and the applicant must restore any disturbed street surface, shoulder, ditch or vegetation.
