New Port Richey requires vehicle parking on improved surfaces (driveways, garages). Parking on grass or unpaved surfaces in residential areas is subject to code enforcement action. Driveway standards are governed by the Land Development Code Chapter 11 (Parking Standards).
New Port Richey's driveway regulations require that all parked vehicles maintain clear sight lines and access to public roadways. Vehicles must not block sidewalks, fire hydrants (within 15 feet), or mailboxes. In residential zones, parking on unpaved front yard areas may be prohibited or restricted — vehicles should be on paved or approved gravel surfaces. The number of vehicles is generally limited to what the driveway can accommodate without overflow onto landscaped areas. Driveway width and construction standards are set by the public works department.
Blocking sidewalks or fire hydrants carries immediate fines of $50–$150. Parking on unpaved surfaces in violation of zoning may result in code enforcement notices with 30-day compliance windows.
