Off-Street Residential Parking
Dear Sandy Resident, I’m privileged to be selected as our city’s 27th Mayor - and the first woman to take the seat. Although the election results took longer than expected, nothing was more important to me and my fellow City Council members than ensuring our election was conducted according to Utah law and with complete transparency. In the end this is exactly what happened. This election was bigger than any one candidate. It helped shape our shared vision for a bright future and how we will tackle the challenges of housing demands, transportation needs, open space preservation, and public safety—all in a budget we can afford. You can be sure I won’t go one day without appreciating the opportunity you’ve given me to lead. This moment is for each of you who’ve shared your hopes, priorities, vision, struggles, and inspirations for our city. I want to make sure I have a deep understanding of the needs of our community. As I take office, I carry your stories and each conversation with me as we face important decisions ahead. I will always stay close and accessible to the people of Sandy - you are my special interest - and I am honored by your trust. We are One Sandy and walk together as we build our best future for all in the city we love. You can always connect with us by going to our City websites sandy.utah.gov and SandyNow.com and by accessing our social media channels @sandycityut for daily updated information. Plus, download the CityServe app to report service requests and visit sandy.utah.gov/citizenconnect for additional ways to connect with Sandy. To reach me directly, please send an email to mayor@sandy.utah.gov.

The City’s Development Code outlines rules and regulations to try and ensure that adequate parking is provided on residential lots. While many people choose to park on the road out of convenience, it is important to remember that on-street parking is prohibited 24 hours prior to and after a snowstorm to allow for plows to operate safely. In addition, recreational vehicles (RVs), trailers, and commercial vehicles have specific standards that apply. Below are some of the requirements for parking on residential lots. • Hard Surface Required: All vehicles, whether in the front, side, or rear yard of a home, must be parked on a hard surface pavement (e.g., asphalt, concrete, brick, or other surface impervious to water). There are a few exceptions, including RVs (see below) and animal transport trailers on properties with animal rights (must be stored in the rear yard). • Recreational Vehicles: RVs should be parked in the rear or on the side of the home (except where topography or property boundaries make this impossible) and parked on a hard surface or a six-inch gravel base kept free of weeds. RVs may not be parked within the street right-of-way and must be behind the back edge of sidewalk (edge closest to home) or a minimum of 5 feet from curb/street if there is no sidewalk). Any RV stored on a residential lot must be owned by an occupant residing in that home.
Development and Building Codes. This includes setbacks from property lines, minimum distances between structures, and requirements for an accessory structure (if not attached to the home). For questions or concerns regarding off-street parking in residential areas, please contact our Code Enforcement division at 801-568-7254. If you have questions or concerns that relate to on-street parking, please contact the Sandy City Police Department at 801-568-7200.
