The Gwinnett County Zoning Resolution contains restrictions about the parking of vehicles at a residence. In any residential district, the parking of any vehicle except on a hard surfaced driveway, or in a carport or garage is prohibited. A hard-surfaced driveway means one that is either paved with asphalt or concrete or that contains adequate, hard-packed gravel that is bordered with landscape timbers, railroad ties, brick or a rock wall to sufficiently define and contain the parking area. The Gwinnett County Zoning Resolution further restricts the amount of the required front yard that may be used for parking to a maximum of 35% of the front yard area in most zoning resdential districts and no more than (6) parking spaces are allowed.
Violations of the Gwinnett County Zoning Resolution are prosecuted in the Environmental Division of Recorder's Court and are subject to a penalty of up to $1000 and/or 60 days in jail per violation per day.
