Pasco LDC §402 caps impervious surface coverage at 40-65% depending on zoning. Floodplain and SWFWMD wetland rules add stormwater requirements. New construction must mitigate runoff under LDC §901.
Pasco County Land Development Code §402 (Development Standards) establishes maximum impervious surface ratios: R-1/AR 40-50%, R-2 55%, R-3/MF 65%, C-1/C-2 commercial 75-85%. Impervious coverage includes the primary structure footprint, driveways, pool decks, patios, sheds, and paved walkways. Permeable pavers receive 50% credit when installed per SWFWMD Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) standards. Lots exceeding 1 acre and projects creating more than 1 acre of impervious surface trigger a Southwest Florida Water Management District ERP under Ch. 62-330 F.A.C. Stormwater retention, swales, or dry ponds must be provided under LDC §901. Properties in special flood hazard areas must also comply with Pasco County Floodplain Management Ordinance (Ch. 46) incorporating FEMA NFIP standards.
Exceeding coverage: removal of impervious surface required. Code Enforcement fines $200-$1,000/day. Unpermitted fill in floodplain: referral to FEMA and SWFWMD; potential flood insurance impact for entire neighborhood.
