Huntersville requires driveways to be paved with an approved surface (asphalt, concrete, pavers, or stabilized gravel) in most residential zones. Maximum driveway width at the right-of-way is typically 24 feet for single-family lots. Driveway permits required for new curb cuts on town streets.
Huntersville Zoning Ordinance Section 9.4 regulates driveway dimensions and materials. Curb cuts on NCDOT-maintained roads (Statesville Road, Gilead Road, NC-73) require NCDOT driveway permits. Residential driveways cannot cover more than 40% of the front yard. Parking on unpaved surfaces (grass, dirt) in the front yard is prohibited. Circular driveways allowed on lots over 80 feet wide.
Parking on unpaved surface: $50 per occurrence. Unpermitted curb cut: restoration required plus fines up to $500.
