What are the limits on paving my yard? Do I have to rip up pavement thats already down?
The new law only applies to paving your front yard. No, you do not have to rip up existing paving in your front yard if it was in place on or before October 26, 2010 so long as you do not increase the paved area.. The maximum percentage of the area of the front yard that can be covered by surfaced area is 30 or 35% depending on the zone. Surfaced area may be a maximum of 50% of the front yard of a tract that has its primary access from a primary residential street, minor arterial road, major highway or arterial, or any State road. You are allowed to have 320 sq. ft. of surfaced area for parking in your front yard even if it exceeds those percentages.
