Building Setbacks & Zoning in Loveland, CO (2026)

Setback Rules

Loveland UDC Title 18 establishes residential-zone setbacks that vary by zoning district. Principal-building setbacks typically range from front yards of 20-25 ft (smaller in higher-density zones, larger in estate residential R1e), interior side yards of 5-10 ft, street-side yards of 10-15 ft on corner lots, and rear yards of 15-25 ft. Detached accessory structures (sheds, detached garages, carports, ADUs) typically require 5 ft side and rear setbacks and must sit behind the front building line. Verify your specific zone with Loveland Current Planning before designing any addition or new construction.
