Tulsa requires vehicles to be parked on improved (paved or hard) surfaces. Parking on lawns or unimproved surfaces is a code violation. Street-facing garage doors and entrances must be set back at least 20 feet from the street right-of-way per the Tulsa Zoning Code. Driveways must meet city engineering standards for width and materials.
Tulsa code typically requires vehicles to be parked on improved surfaces (concrete, asphalt, pavers). Front yard parking on grass or dirt is prohibited in most 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.
