Driveways must be paved (concrete, asphalt, or pavers) in residential zones. Curb cuts require city engineering approval. Parking on front lawns prohibited.
Snellville requires driveways to be constructed of durable, dust-free surface — typically concrete, asphalt, or interlocking pavers. Gravel driveways generally not permitted in residential subdivisions. Curb cuts and driveway aprons require permits from Public Works. Vehicles must be parked on the improved driveway surface; parking on grass or bare dirt is a code violation.
Unapproved driveway surface: code enforcement order to pave. Lawn parking: $100-$250 fine per occurrence.
