Tallahassee requires vehicles to be parked on improved surfaces. Parking on grass or dirt in the front yard is a common code violation. Driveway modifications in the right-of-way require a permit from the city.
The property maintenance code requires vehicles to be parked on driveways or other improved surfaces. Parking on grass, dirt, or unimproved areas in the front yard is among the most common code violations cited by the city. Driveways must be constructed with concrete, asphalt, or other approved materials. New driveway construction or curb cut modifications require a permit. Vehicles in driveways must not block sidewalks.
Blocking sidewalks or fire hydrants carries immediate fines of $50–$150. Parking on unpaved surfaces in violation of zoning may result in code enforcement notices with 30-day compliance windows.
