Garages, sheds, and accessory structures in Rockwall, TX

What the Rockwall zoning ordinance says about garages, sheds, and accessory structures, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.

All districts

Accessory buildings, detached garages, portable buildings, and guest quarters are controlled by the accessory structure development standards and the land use schedule. Guest quarters, secondary living units, and accessory dwelling units may be allowed in a residential zoning district only as ancillary to an existing single-family home, may not exceed 30% of the main structure area, may not include kitchen facilities, and require SUP if they do not meet those standards.
