Driveways in unincorporated Utah County must meet setback and visibility standards per the Land Use Ordinance. Gravel or unpaved driveways are common and generally permitted in rural zones.
Unincorporated Utah County permits gravel, paved, or unpaved driveway surfaces in most rural and agricultural zones, unlike incorporated cities that typically require paved surfaces. Driveways must not obstruct visibility at road intersections or encroach on road rights-of-way. New driveway access to county roads may require a county access permit from the Utah County Road Division. Driveways in residential or subdivision zones may be subject to stricter paving requirements under the applicable zone in the Land Use Ordinance.
Parking on unapproved surface: code compliance notice. Fines after correction period. Inoperable vehicles: removal order.
