Full Breakdown
Section 3007.01 caps how much of the front yard a driveway can take up at 50 percent, within platted subdivisions of the Reservoir Community District near the Ross Barnett Reservoir. The driveway itself must be paved with flagstone, brick, asphalt or concrete: bare gravel or dirt doesn't count as a paved surface for parking vehicles, RVs, boats or trailers. This limit applies only to unincorporated Rankin County; it does not govern driveways inside Brandon, Pearl, Flowood, Richland, Florence, Puckett or Star.
Violations & Fines
A driveway exceeding 50% front-yard coverage, or paved with loose gravel or dirt instead of flagstone, brick, asphalt or concrete, does not meet Section 3007.01's paving standard.
