Georgia bureaucrats require resident permits for parking in private driveways

Too many cars parked in your driveway? There’s a bureaucratic headache for that.

A family in Cobb County, Georgia, was recently notified that they need to obtain a permit in order to allow their college-age children to park in their private driveway over the summer.

Bureaucrats with the Kennesaw code enforcement agency recently visited the Oviedo family to inform them allowing their two children to park each of their cars, in addition to two other family cars, violates a “conservation”-focused zoning law that permits residents in the area to have no more than two cars in residential drives.

“I am angry. I am beyond angry. I don’t see how the government can tell me whose cars I can park in my own driveway,” Kim Oviedo told the local WSB-TV.

The family could remedy the problem, according to county officials, by purchasing a $150 permit to allow them to keep the additional vehicle parked in their driveway.

In order to get the permit, however, the family would need to shell out an additional $1,500 to $2,000 to have surveying done to fulfill paperwork requirements.

“I’m having to pay to park on a property that I already pay tax on,” Oviedo told reporters.

After a story about the outrageous situation aired on local news, the county’s benevolent bureaucrats “decided to let the issue slide this summer, but put the family on notice next summer would require a permit to park four cars in the driveway,” WSB-TV reported.
