Tulsa County zoning limits lot coverage to 40% in RS districts and 25% in RE/AG. City of Tulsa TZC § 5.030 caps RS-3 at 50% and RS-5 at 60%. Excess impervious surface requires stormwater management under Title 11 § 11-401.
Maximum lot coverage in Tulsa County is set by the zoning code: 40% in RS residential, 25% in RE estate, and 20% in AG agricultural. City of Tulsa Tulsa Zoning Code § 5.030 sets coverage at 40% (RS-1) up to 60% (RS-5, smaller lots). Coverage includes all buildings, covered patios, driveways, and other impervious surfaces. Uncovered decks less than 30 inches above grade may be exempt. Permeable pavers can receive up to 50% credit toward coverage calculation per TZC § 65.060. Lots exceeding allowed impervious surface trigger stormwater detention requirements under City of Tulsa Public Works stormwater regulations (TRO Title 11 § 11-401) and County stormwater drainage rules. Exceeding lot coverage requires a variance from the appropriate Board of Adjustment.
Exceeding lot coverage: correction required, possible removal of impervious surface. Fines $200-$1,000 under TRO § 42-570. Stormwater violations without detention: additional penalties $500-$2,000 and mandatory engineered remediation.
