Montgomery County has no rule on driveway width, paving, or parking on lawns and front yards. These are set by your borough or township zoning ordinance under the PA Municipalities Planning Code. Many local codes bar parking on unpaved yard areas and regulate driveway access.
Driveway apron permits, curb cuts, paving requirements, and bans on parking across a front lawn are municipal land-use matters in Pennsylvania. Under the Municipalities Planning Code (Act 247), each Montgomery County borough and township sets its own standards: many require vehicles to park on an improved (paved or gravel) surface and prohibit parking on grass or in the front setback. Driveway access onto a state road also needs a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit. The county does not regulate residential driveways; its parking authority is confined to marked spaces in county park lots.
Municipal zoning or property-maintenance officers enforce driveway and yard-parking rules; typical penalties run up to $500 per day of violation. Illegal state-road access can bring PennDOT enforcement.
