Commerce is growing fast. The Census Bureau counted 7,387 people here in 2020 and estimates 9,303 for 2025, a jump of about 26 percent. A new house on a red clay lot needs a driveway, and often a front walk or a back patio. At older homes, the original driveway may be cracked or broken.

Commerce began as Harmony Grove and took its present name in 1909. About a quarter of the city's homes were built before 1970, by Census estimates. About a third were built in 2000 or later. Detached single-family houses make up about 79 percent of the city's homes.
New homes keep coming. The city's March 2026 State of the City presentation counts 3,336 housing units, 324 of them added over five years. It also lists 982 homes and 404 townhome lots available.
The city's design guidelines cover new homes outside HOA subdivisions. They encourage a concrete walkway from the front door to the street, connected to the public sidewalk where one exists. Our page on concrete walkways covers that work.
Inside the city limits, driveways fall under Commerce's Unified Development Code. The code says driveways must be permitted. A driveway on an approved building permit or development plan counts as approved, and any other needs its own permit. The city's Planning and Development Department answers questions about a specific lot.
The code allows one driveway per lot. A circular driveway with two entrances may be allowed when its connections sit at least 100 feet apart. At the right of way line, a home driveway must be 10 to 12 feet wide. It can reach 20 feet when it serves a two-car garage or carport within 40 feet of that line.
Wider paving on the lot itself, for parking or a turnaround, is still allowed. Where the driveway meets a city street or county road, the code calls for a concrete apron. Water from the driveway has to flow onto the road shoulder and into the ditch or gutter. Where there is no curb and gutter, the city may require a culvert pipe, typically 18 inches.
A shed or workshop of 150 square feet or more needs a building permit in Commerce. It also needs a certificate of occupancy and must be secured to the ground on an appropriate foundation. It cannot sit in the front yard, and it needs at least 10 feet of space from the house. Our page on concrete slabs for sheds and workshops covers that kind of pad.
Fences have their own section in the code, and our fence installation page covers the types we build. A fence is limited to 4 feet in a front yard and in any yard that abuts a public street. In other yards, from the front line of the house back, the limit is 6 feet 8 inches. The finished side has to face out.
Wood, stone, chain link, vinyl and composite are all allowed in residential areas. Chain link has to stay behind the front line of the house, and slatted chain link is not allowed. Hog wire, barbed wire, poultry netting and roll fencing are limited to the AR and AF zoning districts. A fence that closes off the back yard needs a gate at least 3 feet wide.
Most of Commerce sits on well drained soil with a red clay subsoil. NRCS soil maps put about 92 percent of the city on Cecil, Pacolet and Madison soils. In a typical Cecil profile, the red clay starts about 8 inches down. FEMA maps show only about 1.4 percent of the city's land in a flood zone.
NOAA normals for the Athens airport, about 20 miles south, show about 49 inches of rain a year. The city's Public Works Department cleans ditches to prevent flooding, and driveway runoff is meant to reach those ditches. A new slab or driveway should slope so rain runs away from the house.
Public Works also picks up brush, leaves and limbs for city residents. Limbs can be no more than six feet long or six inches across. The city does not collect dirt or rocks. Our debris removal service hauls away what city pickup does not take, like broken concrete from an old driveway.
