What are the Common Residential Zoning Violations?

The common residential zoning violations are:

  • Parking illegally in required front yard

  • Parking on unsurfaced or improperly surfaced area

  • R.V.s, boats and trailers improperly located on private property

  • Improperly located "stored" autos on private property

  • Working on cars

  • Illegal home occupations

  • Unlicensed garage sales

  • Signs improperly located (on City right-of-way)

How is Residential Zoning enforced?

Timeframes vary depending on the type of violation. Violations of illegal auto repair or parking violations are generally required to be corrected the same day the violation occurs. For first time violations, a Zoning Violation Notice is issued.

If the violation still exists when the inspector re-inspects, a Zoning Citation will be issued. Other types of violations, e.g. illegal home occupations, may be given up to 30 days to be corrected.
