Ottawa County does not zone, and Georgetown Township's residential districts set no single lot-coverage percentage. Coverage is limited indirectly through minimum yards, minimum lot size, and a 600-square-foot cap on detached accessory buildings in LDR, LMR, MDR and MHR.
Lot coverage is governed by the local unit, not the county (MCL 125.3201). Georgetown Charter Township's single-family residential districts do not publish a maximum lot-coverage percentage; instead, buildable footprint is constrained by minimum front, side and rear yards, minimum lot area (11,475 sq ft in LDR), and a cap on accessory structures. Detached accessory buildings accessory to primary residential uses are limited to 600 square feet in the LDR, LMR, MDR and MHR districts (larger on RR/AG acreage). If your zone or use has an explicit coverage percentage, confirm it in the township's Chapter 24 or with the City of Holland.
Exceeding accessory-area caps or building in a required yard is a zoning violation; Georgetown enforces by civil infraction ($100–$500 first offense), each day a separate offense (§30.3).
