Tyler requires vehicles on residential lots to be parked on an improved surface such as concrete or asphalt. Parking on grass, dirt, or the front lawn is prohibited under the Unified Development Code.
Tyler's Unified Development Code requires self-propelled vehicles on a residential lot to be parked on an improved surface (City Code Sec. 10-355 and the off-street parking standards). Parking on the front lawn, bare dirt, or grass is not allowed, and driveways must meet the code's parking-space design and surfacing standards. Building or widening a driveway requires a permit and must respect zoning setbacks. Inoperable or junked vehicles cannot be stored in the driveway where visible from the street. These surfacing rules pair with the RV and commercial-vehicle limits in the same code division.
Parking on an unapproved surface draws a Code Enforcement notice and fines after the correction window. Unpermitted driveway work can require removal or bringing the surface up to code.
