Maricopa, AZ Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Maricopa Municipal Code Chapter 18.105 (On-Site Parking and Loading) sets the design and surface rules for driveways and parking areas. Under MCC 18.105.030 (General regulations and standards), all required parking and loading spaces, maneuvering areas, and driveways must be paved with asphalt, concrete, paving stone, or masonry of sufficient thickness to withstand repeated vehicular traffic; the zoning administrator may approve an alternative dust-control surface, but must specify a required maintenance method and schedule, and failure to maintain it is a code violation. MCC 18.105.050 (Parking area design) requires off-street parking and loading areas to be designed so that vehicles can enter and exit a public street by forward motion only. On the enforcement side, MCC 10.20.050 (Parking on private property) makes it unlawful to park in or upon the property of another without first obtaining the permission of the person legally entitled to possession, and such vehicles may be removed under A.R.S. Recreational-vehicle parking in residential driveways is further limited by MCC 18.120.150 (24-hour loading window, otherwise screened storage).
