Rock County has no countywide rule on how you park in your own driveway. Driveway surface, width, and access standards come from town or municipal zoning. New driveways connecting to a county highway need a county access permit.
Everyday driveway parking is not regulated at the county level. In the unincorporated towns that adopted county zoning (Wis. Stat. 59.69), town zoning may require driveways to be a specific surface or set how many vehicles a residential lot can hold. Cities and villages have their own driveway and off-street parking standards. Where a new or altered driveway connects to a county trunk highway, Rock County's Highway Access Control regulations require a driveway access permit from the county before construction. On private frontage roads and local streets, the municipality handles driveway approach permits.
Zoning or access violations are enforced by the town, municipality, or county highway department; unpermitted county-highway driveways can be ordered removed at the owner's expense.
