Fresno County Title 18 sets maximum lot coverage by zone — typically 40% R-1, 30% R-A, 20% RR, 10% RE, and 5% AE/AL agricultural zones.
Lot coverage (percentage of lot covered by structures) varies by zone. Residential zones generally allow 40% coverage. Rural Residential (RR) allows ~20%. Rural Exclusive (RE) and agricultural zones (AE, AL) limit coverage to preserve ag character. Coverage includes main dwelling, accessory structures, and covered patios. Permeable surfaces (driveways) excluded in most zones.
