Ramsey County sets no driveway-parking rule — driveways and yard parking are zoning matters your city controls. St. Paul restricts front-yard and boulevard parking; check St. Paul or your suburb's zoning code.
Where you may park on your own property — in a driveway, on an approved surface, or on a boulevard — is a land-use and zoning question. In Minnesota, cities do residential zoning under Minn. Stat. Ch. 462, and counties zone only unincorporated or township land under Ch. 394. Because Ramsey County is almost fully incorporated (St. Paul plus its suburbs), the county sets no driveway rule for residents. St. Paul zoning limits parking to approved surfaces and prohibits parking on boulevards and unimproved front-yard areas; blocking a public sidewalk or the street portion of a driveway is also barred. Confirm the specifics with St. Paul or your city.
Handled by your city under its zoning and parking code (St. Paul: citation, and towing for vehicles blocking sidewalks or public right-of-way).
