Smyrna requires vehicles on residential lots to be parked on a paved, concrete, rock, or gravel driveway or inside an enclosed roofed space. Parking on grass or dirt front yards is limited, and side/rear yard grass parking needs a six-foot privacy fence.
Smyrna Section 15-609 makes it unlawful to park or store motorized vehicles on residential property unless they sit on a paved, concreted, rock or gravel driveway (or approved porous surface) or inside a completely enclosed roofed space. Parking on grass or dirt in side or rear yards is allowed only if the area is enclosed by an opaque privacy fence at least six feet high. On lots under one acre, front-yard parking on grass or dirt may not cover more than 50 percent of a single-family front yard (75 percent for two-family). Recreational vehicles kept behind the rear corner of the residence are excepted. Greenbelt/agricultural parcels are exempt.
Citation enforced by codes enforcement or Smyrna Police under Sec. 15-625; each day a separate offense.
