Paulding County controls building bulk mainly through large minimum lot sizes, not a single lot-coverage percentage. A-1 lots must be five acres, R-2 suburban lots 20,000 square feet, and R-2 with sewer 15,000 square feet.
Rather than one flat coverage cap, the Paulding County zoning ordinance limits development intensity through minimum lot area and width in Article VIII. A-1 agricultural lots must be five acres, R-2 suburban residential lots at least 20,000 square feet, and R-2 with sewer 15,000 square feet, each with a minimum lot width at the building line. Impervious surfaces are further managed through the county's development regulations and stormwater rules, and accessory guest houses are capped so all structures cover no more than 20 percent of the lot. Exceeding platted lot standards requires a variance or rezoning through Community Development.
Subdividing below the district minimum lot area or width violates the zoning and development regulations, and the county can reject the plat or permit. Stormwater limits are enforced through land-disturbance permits.
