Norfolk County does not regulate lot coverage. Each town's zoning bylaw sets maximum coverage and Floor Area Ratio (FAR). Residential typically 25-50% coverage. Stormwater rules may apply above thresholds.
Lot coverage in Norfolk County is set by municipal zoning bylaws. Typical residential maximums vary by density: dense Brookline allows 25-40% lot coverage; suburban Quincy, Weymouth, Dedham typically allow 30-40%; rural Dover, Sherborn, Medfield often 15-25%. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) limits also apply in many towns. Lot coverage calculations typically include primary structure, accessory buildings, driveways, patios, and decks. Permeable pavers receive partial credit in some bylaws. Exceeding lot coverage requires a variance under MGL c. 40A §10. Stormwater management under 310 CMR 10.05 (Wetlands Protection) may be triggered by impervious surface thresholds.
No county enforcement. Municipal exceeding coverage: corrective action, impervious surface removal, fines $200-$1,000. Stormwater violations under 310 CMR 10.00: up to $25,000.
