Lewisville, TX Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Sec. 15-134(b)(6) sets construction and dimension standards for driveways and parking surfaces on single-family and two-family lots. Vehicles stored on the property must sit on an all-weather parking surface pad with a distinguishable border; gravel or crushed rock is allowed only in side or rear yards if it has that border. Access drives and parking areas within the required front yard must be concrete or asphalt, with a narrow exception preserving existing legal nonconforming all-weather driveways, while access drives behind the front yard may use concrete, asphalt, paving stones, brick, gravel or crushed rock.

The section then fixes hard width limits: a driveway or parking surface in the required front yard setback may not exceed 27 feet in width on lots 60 feet wide or greater, or 45 percent of lot width on narrower lots, measured at the front yard setback line, and in no case may the parking or driveway area cover more than 45 percent of the required front yard. New driveways must be paved in concrete, though expansions of an existing driveway may match nonconforming material already in place next to it, provided the total area still meets the width and coverage caps.

Access drives and parking surfaces must be kept in good repair at all times, and the city requires a permit before any driveway or parking surface improvement is built or altered.
