Washington County, UT Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

" That setback is defined in the adjoining Section 10-8F-6 table at 25 feet, or 15 feet on lots that qualify for the reduced setback by placing parking in the rear and giving each unit a covered, street-facing porch, so the driveway and parking-pad layout has to work backward from wherever that line falls. Subsection H of the same section separately requires that "if a dumpster is used for garbage collection, the dumpster must be kept in a dumpster surround constructed of masonry and include a sight obscuring gate," keeping trash storage out of view from the street alongside the parking restriction.

The rule sits among the chapter's other yard modifications, including the requirement that a street-side side yard on a corner lot match the front-yard setback, and that private garages set back at least 10 feet from the main dwelling can use a reduced 3-foot side yard, so a driveway that curls around to rear parking has to account for those garage placement rules too. Because the front-yard parking ban applies specifically to the R-2 and R-3 chapter, it governs multi-family development, duplexes, and townhomes in the unincorporated county rather than the county's single-family agricultural or estate zones, which are governed by their own separate area, width, and yard chapters.
