Goodyear, AZ Building Setbacks & Zoning: Lot Coverage Limits (2026)

Lot coverage in Goodyear is the percentage of the total lot area covered by buildings and roofed structures. The maximum building coverage varies by zoning district under the development standards in Section 3-2-3. Standard R1-6 districts typically allow 40-45% lot coverage. The R1-A (compact lot) designation with reduced development standards allows up to 80% maximum building coverage. All roofed structures count toward lot coverage including the primary dwelling, attached and detached garages, carports, covered patios, and accessory buildings. Uncovered features like driveways, walkways, and open patios generally do not count toward building coverage but may be subject to separate impervious surface limits. Most Goodyear subdivisions are in PADs with specific development standards that may establish different coverage limits. Pool enclosures, pergolas, and shade structures may or may not count depending on roof coverage percentage. Development Services at (623) 932-3200 can calculate available lot coverage for specific properties.
