In Tyler's common single-family districts (R-1B and R-1C), homes need a 25-foot front setback, 25-foot rear setback, and 6-foot interior side yard. R-1A requires 7.5-foot side yards, and one-acre Residential Estate lots require 50-foot front and rear setbacks.
Tyler's Unified Development Code sets minimum yard setbacks by zoning district in Table 10-23 (Sec. 10-23). Single-family R-1B and R-1C lots require a 25-foot front yard, 25-foot rear yard, 6-foot interior side yard, and 12-foot corner side yard. The larger R-1A district requires 25-foot front and rear yards with 7.5-foot interior sides, while Residential Estate (RE) lots of at least one acre require 50-foot front and rear setbacks and 12.5-foot interior sides. Alley-loaded parking allows a reduced front setback under Sec. 10-92, and a garage face must sit 20 feet from a drive aisle. Setbacks are verified during plan review by Development Services.
A structure built inside a required yard without a Board of Adjustment variance faces stop-work orders, permit denial, and code-enforcement action from Tyler Development Services before a certificate of occupancy issues.
