Farmersville, TX Building Setbacks & Zoning: Setback Rules (2026)

Section 77-62(a) states that the yard requirements specified in Sections 77-52 and 77-53 apply to every lot unless the chapter says otherwise, and Sections 77-63(a) and 77-64(a) apply the same district tables to side and rear yards respectively. In the Agricultural District, Section 77-52(a)(3) requires a 40-foot minimum front yard, a 20-foot minimum interior side yard, and a 10-foot minimum rear yard. Single Family Dwelling-1 requires a 30-foot front yard, a side yard equal to 10 percent of lot width with a 10-foot minimum, and a 10-foot rear yard; Single Family Dwelling-2 reduces the side yard minimum to 6 feet while keeping the same 30-foot front and 10-foot rear yards; Single Family Dwelling-3 drops the front yard to 25 feet and the side yard to 5 feet for a standard detached lot.

Corner lots follow Section 77-63 rather than the standard interior-lot figure, and Section 77-62(b) adds that a corner lot must observe the front yard setback along both intersecting street frontages, and that eaves, roof extensions, and porches without posts may project up to four feet into a required front yard. Front yard depth is also capped: outside the Central Area District, no front yard needs to exceed 50 feet even where the half-building-height rule in Section 77-62(b)(8) would otherwise require more.
