Fulshear's site development regulations establish minimum front, side, and rear yard setbacks for structures, with specific dimensions tied to the underlying zoning district and approved subdivision plat for each property.
Chapter 28, Article III of the Fulshear Code of Ordinances governs site development, including building setback requirements. Setbacks are measured from the property line to the nearest exterior wall and vary by zoning category, including single-family residential, multi-family, and commercial districts. Many properties also follow setback lines shown on recorded subdivision plats, which can be more restrictive than the base ordinance. Accessory structures, porches, and eaves have specific encroachment rules. Variances require Planning and Zoning Commission review.
Structures placed within required setbacks may need to be removed, relocated, or modified, and the owner can be cited for a code violation through Fulshear's code enforcement process.
