The City of Humble requires that residential vehicles be parked on improved (paved) surfaces. Parking on grass, dirt, or unimproved areas in the front yard is prohibited under property maintenance and nuisance codes. Driveway approaches must be constructed to city standards and connect to the street or alley. The minimum driveway width is typically 10 feet for single-car access. Vehicles parked in driveways must not extend over the sidewalk and block pedestrian access. Properties with circular driveways or expanded parking areas must meet setback and impervious cover requirements. Driveway replacement or widening may require a permit from Community Development at (281) 446-4331. Gravel driveways may be restricted in certain residential areas depending on neighborhood standards.
Parking on grass or unimproved surfaces in the front yard can result in a code violation notice. Property owners typically receive 10 days to correct the issue. Fines up to $500 per violation may apply for noncompliance. Blocking sidewalks with parked vehicles may result in citation. Contact Code Enforcement at (281) 446-4331.
