Lot coverage in Pompano Beach is regulated by the Zoning Code Article 5 (Development Standards). Maximum permitted lot coverage varies by zoning district. All roofed structures including the principal dwelling, garages, carports, and accessory buildings count toward the lot coverage maximum. Impervious surface coverage beyond a threshold may trigger additional stormwater management requirements under Section 155.5501.

The Development Services Department reviews all building permit applications for lot coverage compliance.
Exceeding lot coverage limits is a zoning violation. Permits will not be issued for non-compliant projects.
