Taylor, TX Building Setbacks & Zoning: Lot Coverage Limits (2026)

The Taylor Made Land Development Code, adopted by Ordinance 2024-41 and revised September 12, 2024, replaced the city's earlier bulk-standard zoning with a place-type system built around Taylor's Envision Comprehensive Plan. 3 sets 'Lot Coverage (Maximum)' as one line of a single chart running across all ten place types, from P1 Nature through EC Employment Center. P1 Nature lots carry no coverage figure because Nature is meant to stay undeveloped open land. 5 Large Lot each cap building footprint at 40% of the lot, matching their larger one-to-two-acre minimum lot sizes.

P3 Neighborhood and P3M Manufactured Housing move to 60% coverage, reflecting Taylor's standard single-family and manufactured-home neighborhoods. P4 Mix, the walkable mixed-use district, allows up to 90% coverage, and P5 Urban Center, downtown Taylor's most intense district, permits building coverage up to 100% of the lot. CS Civic Space and EC Employment Center are both marked 'TBD,' meaning the maximum is set case by case during the Neighborhood Plan or Employment Center Plan review required for those place types rather than fixed in the table.

A property owner planning a building addition or new structure checks the applicable place-type row before the city's Building Official will approve a site plan or building permit, and any request to exceed the listed percentage requires a Neighborhood Plan amendment rather than a routine variance.
