Volusia County LDC limits residential impervious coverage to 40 to 50% in R-1/R-2 and stricter 30% in Resource Corridor zones. Stormwater retention required for any lot over the threshold per SJRWMD permits.
Volusia County LDC Chapter 72 sets maximum lot coverage and impervious surface ratio (ISR) caps that vary by zoning. R-1 Urban Single-Family typically allows 40% building coverage and 50 to 55% total impervious. R-2 allows 45% building/60% ISR. Conservation, RC (Resource Corridor), and A (Agriculture) zones restrict coverage to 20 to 30% to protect aquifer recharge areas over the Floridan Aquifer. Municipal limits vary: Daytona Beach (Code Art. 3) allows up to 65% ISR in single-family; DeLand 55%; NSB 50% with wetland buffer deductions; Ormond Beach 55%; Deltona 50%. Lot coverage counts buildings, driveways, patios, pool decks, and paved areas. Pervious pavers receive 50% credit in many districts. Lots exceeding 50% impervious or disturbing 1+ acres trigger St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) stormwater permits under FL §373. Coastal zones have additional runoff rules to protect Halifax River and Mosquito Lagoon water quality.
Exceeding lot coverage: corrective action required. Fines $200 to $5,000 under Code Enforcement Board per FL §162. May require removal of impervious surfaces. SJRWMD permit violations: $500 to $10,000 per FL §373.129.
