Surprise, AZ Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

C requires that residential parking and driveway areas be constructed and maintained with the required parking space located on and accessed by a dust-proof surface, ruling out bare dirt or gravel-only driveways in the R-1, R-2, and SHD-RO districts. D limits how much of the front yard can be paved over: driveway entrances and off-street parking spaces within the front yard cannot exceed 30 percent of the front lot line, though every lot is still guaranteed one driveway up to 18 feet wide regardless of that percentage.

B separately bars using front-yard parking spaces to store commercial equipment. The section carves out limited flexibility for recreational vehicles and utility trailers: one stored in the side or rear yard must sit behind the front line of the house, and an RV or trailer may load or unload in another yard location for up to 72 hours, up to twice a month, with RV gates permitted flush with the front of the building. A truck may not park on a residential lot for more than 24 hours except while loading, unloading, or providing services to the residence. G.
