Goodyear, AZ Building Setbacks & Zoning: Setback Rules (2026)

3, Development Standards for Agricultural and Single-Family Districts, fixes three yard setbacks for each zoning district. Front setbacks are 20 feet in AG and AU, 10 feet in R1-10, R1-7, R1-6, R1-4 and R1-A, and just 5 feet in R1-C (footnote 7 limits that 5-foot figure to a street that does not provide direct vehicular access to homes). Side setbacks step down from 20 feet in AG and 15 feet in AU to 10 feet in R1-10, 5 feet in R1-7, R1-6 and R1-4, and all the way to 0 feet in R1-A and R1-C, though footnote 8 requires attached homes in those smaller-lot districts to keep at least 5 feet of building separation even at a 0-foot property-line setback.

Rear setbacks range from 100 feet in AG and 50 feet in AU down to 30 feet in R1-10, 25 feet in R1-7, 20 feet in R1-6 and R1-4, and 15 feet in R1-A and R1-C; footnote 11 lets the rear setback drop to 0 feet where a rear-facing garage is accessed from a private alley tract and fire separation can still be met, and footnote 12 requires 20 feet to enclosed living space but only 15 feet to a rear covered patio. Front setbacks are measured to patios, livable space and side-entry garages under footnote 2, while a separate 'Front-facing garage' standard holds garage faces back 20 feet in every district regardless of the base front setback, so driveways stay long enough for a parked car.
