Jacksonville Zoning Code (Ord. Code Ch. 656) requires driveway permits for new curb cuts. Residential driveways must be paved (concrete, asphalt, or approved pavers). Parking on lawn prohibited.
New or expanded driveways require a right-of-way permit from Public Works. Residential driveways must be constructed of concrete, asphalt, brick, or approved permeable pavers — gravel and grass driveways generally prohibited. Maximum curb cut width: 24 feet for single-family. Driveway must not block sidewalk or obstruct sight triangle at intersection. Vehicles must be parked on improved surface; parking on lawn/yard is a code violation.
Parking on grass: $75-$150 fine per occurrence. Unpermitted curb cut: $250+ plus removal. Repeat violators referred to Special Magistrate.
