Noblesville, IN Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Section 159.143(A) applies the chapter's off-street parking standards to nearly every use, but carves out one-family, two-family, and agricultural properties from the general parking design rules while still capping their driveways at a width of 20 feet or 30 feet, and limiting each property to one driveway per street frontage. Section 159.143(C)(2)(d) fills in the residential detail: driveways for single-family or two-family homes must fall within minimum and maximum widths at the property line set out in the accompanying Table 10(C)(2)(d), which varies the allowed width by garage configuration.

Every such driveway must be set back at least seven and a half feet from the property line. On a corner lot, where the property fronts more than one public street, the driveway's leading edge must sit at least twenty-five feet from the intersection, or wherever the city Engineer with jurisdiction otherwise approves, and once the driveway goes in a 'No Parking Here to Corner' sign must be installed between the driveway and the intersection. These residential rules sit alongside separate, generally wider standards for non-residential and multi-family driveways in Section 159.143(C)(2)(a)-(c), which allow up to 30 feet, or 36 feet with a striped median, at the right-of-way line.

Homeowners adding or widening a driveway should check both the frontage count and the corner-lot setback before pouring concrete, since the Engineer having jurisdiction signs off on placement.
