Coconino County controls building bulk mainly through minimum lot size, setbacks, and height rather than one flat coverage percentage. RS single-family lots range from 6,000 square feet to 36,000, and rural zones start at one to ten acres.
Rather than a single coverage cap, the Coconino County Zoning Ordinance limits intensity through minimum lot area, required yards, and height. The RS zones are named for their minimum lot size - RS-6000, RS-10000, RS-18000, RS-36000 - while Rural Residential and Agricultural Residential require a full acre and the General zone ten acres. Setbacks and height then constrain how large a structure can fit on any parcel. Much of the county is steep forest, floodplain, or checkerboarded with state, tribal, and federal land, so lots stay large and low-density by design. Flagstaff and Sedona apply their own lot-coverage and floor-area standards within city limits.
Splitting land below the district minimum lot size, or building beyond the dimensional standards, violates the Zoning Ordinance. Coconino County Community Development can reject the split or permit. Relief requires a variance or rezone.
