Montgomery County does not regulate residential driveway design or materials in unincorporated areas through a countywide ordinance. Development permits are required for driveway construction that connects to county roads. Subdivision deed restrictions may specify surface materials.
Unincorporated Montgomery County has no specific driveway construction ordinance. However, a development permit from Montgomery County Environmental Health / Permitting may be required if the driveway connects to a county-maintained road or disturbs more than 15,000 sq. ft. Road connection/culvert permits are required for new driveway access points on county roads. Subdivision HOA deed restrictions may specify driveway materials, widths, and landscaping requirements.
Parking on unapproved surface: code compliance notice. Fines after correction period. Inoperable vehicles: removal order.
