Denver requires driveways to meet setback and width standards. Blocking the public sidewalk is prohibited. Curb cuts require a permit from DOTI.
In Denver, residential driveways must not obstruct public sidewalks or rights-of-way. New driveway aprons (curb cuts) require a permit from the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI). Vehicles parked in driveways must not extend into the public sidewalk space. In some RPP zones, residential parking permits allow parking in front of one's own driveway without a ticket under specific conditions. Driveway surfacing should be maintained and not allow runoff to flow onto public streets. Abandoned or inoperative vehicles stored on driveways may be subject to code enforcement.
Blocking sidewalk: $25–$75 fine. Unpermitted curb cuts can result in restoration orders.
