Driveway access in Tijeras is governed by the zoning ordinance. The rural mountain character means most properties have private access roads or driveways. Building and access require P&Z Commission approval per §26-67.
Tijeras code typically requires vehicles to be parked on improved surfaces (concrete, asphalt, gravel in some areas). Front yard parking on dirt may be common in rural NM but restricted in city limits. Inoperable vehicles may not be stored in driveways. Driveway widening or additions require permits and must meet zoning setbacks. Some cities limit the percentage of front yard that can be paved.
Parking on unapproved surface: code compliance notice. Fines after correction period. Inoperable vehicles: removal order.
