Lynn Haven requires a Concrete, Stormwater, Driveway permit to construct or modify a driveway. The driveway apron must connect properly to the right-of-way and not redirect stormwater onto neighbors.
The Lynn Haven Building Department's combined Concrete, Stormwater, Driveway permit covers new driveways, replacements, and modifications. Drainage must be considered - the driveway slope cannot concentrate runoff onto an adjacent property (a civil nuisance). Apron material must transition to the right-of-way safely. Sec. 14-28 elevation rule (12 inches above road crown) applies. Driveway parking can serve all household vehicles plus visitors. RVs and boats must be on an improved surface (not grass) per ULDC Sec. 5.01.02. The 2025 ULDC amendment also allows PODs in driveways for up to 10 days under Sec. 5.02.04 (must be 10 ft behind front lot line).
Unpermitted driveway work - Sec. 1-7 fines up to $500/day. Right-of-way damage - cost recovery by Public Works.
