Sumner County's Zoning Resolution caps lot coverage by district: 20% for homes in the Agricultural Reserve and Rural Residential zones, 25% in Suburban Residential, and up to 50% for other uses, under Tenn. Code Ann. §13-7-101. Cities set their own limits.
Sumner County's Zoning Resolution limits how much of a lot can be built out through maximum lot coverage set in Section 404, Table 1 under Tenn. Code Ann. §13-7-101. Residential coverage is capped at 20% in the Agricultural Reserve and Rural Residential districts and 25% in Suburban Residential, while nonresidential uses in those districts may cover up to 50%. The Mobile Home Community district allows 40%. Minimum lot sizes, from 20,000 square feet in Suburban Residential up to 15 acres in Agricultural Reserve, reinforce the low-intensity pattern. Inside Gallatin, Hendersonville, and Portland, each city's zoning sets its own coverage limits.
The county planning department enforces lot-coverage limits at permit and plat review and can withhold approval. Excess impervious surface can also trigger county stormwater and land-disturbance requirements.
