Maximum lot coverage in single-family residential zones is typically 40 percent, including the house, garage, and all accessory structures.
Title 13 zoning standards limit total building coverage in single-family zones to approximately 40 percent of lot area. This includes the primary dwelling, attached and detached garages, sheds, and covered patios. Impervious surface ratios including driveways and walkways may be separately regulated for stormwater management in some areas. Smaller lots in cluster developments have higher allowed coverage in exchange for open space provided elsewhere in the subdivision.
