Utah County limits residential lot coverage to 40% in RA-1 zones per Title 8. Provo R1 allows 40% building coverage per §14.10.050. Orem R6.5 permits 40% per §22-5-6. Stormwater rules apply above threshold.
Utah County Land Use Ordinance §8-3-8 caps RA-1 building coverage at 40% of lot area. Provo Municipal Code §14.10.050 limits R1 primary-structure coverage to 40%; total impervious including driveways at 50%. Orem Code §22-5-6 sets R6.5 building coverage at 40%. Lindon and Pleasant Grove similar. Coverage includes principal dwelling, attached garage, accessory structures over 200 sq ft, and covered patios. Driveways, sidewalks, and uncovered patios count toward impervious-surface stormwater thresholds under Utah County Storm Water Management §16-4. Utah County enforces MS4 permit requirements from UDEQ above 10,000 sq ft disturbance. Permeable pavers may receive 50% coverage credit in Provo. Exceeding coverage requires a Board of Adjustment variance under Utah Code §10-9a-702. Corner lots on busy Orem arterials have reduced coverage for sight-visibility triangles.
Exceeding lot coverage: correction required. Required removal of impervious surfaces. Fines $250 to $1,500 under Provo §14.02.090. Stormwater violations separately enforced under Utah County Storm Water ordinance.
