Smyrna requires all residential vehicles to park on approved hardened surfaces. Parking on grass or unpaved areas is a code violation. Driveway construction or widening may require a permit.
Smyrna Code Enforcement actively cites properties where vehicles are parked on grass, dirt, or other non-hardened surfaces. All residential parking must be on concrete, asphalt, or other approved hardened surfaces. Adding a new parking pad or significantly widening a driveway typically requires a permit from the Building Division. Permit applications are submitted online through the OpenGov portal at smyrnaga.portal.opengov.com. Minimum permit fee is $125.
Blocking sidewalk: $50 to $150 ticket. Lawn parking: $100 to $250 code violation. Unpermitted driveway: correction notice.
