Fillmore's zoning code limits lot coverage based on the zoning district. Single-family residential zones (R-1) typically allow 40-50% lot coverage including all structures. Agricultural zones may have different coverage ratios reflecting larger lot sizes.
Maximum lot coverage in Fillmore is determined by the zoning district as specified in the Fillmore Municipal Code. In R-1 (Single-Family Residential) zones, lot coverage by all buildings and structures combined typically cannot exceed 40-50% of the total lot area. This includes the primary dwelling, garages, carports, sheds, ADUs, covered patios, and other roofed structures. R-2 (Multi-Family) zones may permit higher coverage. Agricultural zones have different standards reflecting larger minimum lot sizes. Lot coverage calculations are reviewed during building permit applications by Community Development at (805) 524-1500 ext 234.
Exceeding maximum lot coverage is a zoning violation. Building permits will not be issued for projects that would exceed the coverage limit. Unpermitted structures that cause lot coverage violations must be removed or the property brought into compliance.
