Driveway and private property parking in unincorporated Douglas County is governed by county zoning rules and state law. Inoperable and junked vehicles on property may constitute nuisances.
The Douglas County Nuisance Regulation prohibits conditions that endanger the comfort, repose, health, or safety of others. This includes junked, inoperable, or deteriorated vehicles stored in plain view on residential property, which may be cited as nuisances. County zoning regulations govern lot use and placement of structures, including paved surfaces and driveways in various zone districts. Driveway access onto county roads requires a culvert permit from the county road department.
Nuisance violations from junked vehicles are Class III Misdemeanors. Each day after notice may be a separate offense.
