Frequently Asked Questions
About building in Paradise Valley
When building a home in Paradise Valley, Arizona, the key zoning term that determines how large your home can be is FAR (Floor Area Ratio).
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is the maximum amount of building area allowed on a lot, expressed as a percentage of the lot's size. FAR includes all areas under roof, such as the home's interior living space, garages, covered patios, ramadas, porte-cochères, and any second-story areas.
In most Paradise Valley zoning:
- •FAR = 25% of the net lot area
Here's how the math works on a 1-acre lot (43,560 sq ft):
FAR Calculation
43,560 × 0.25 = 10,890 sq ft maximum buildable area
Our estimator uses the FAR (25%) to calculate maximum buildable area based on lot size, then multiplies that by the build price per square foot to generate a cost estimate. This tool assumes a flat lot and does not account for site-specific constraints.
Important Notes
Final buildable square footage can vary based on setbacks, height limits, and other zoning requirements, so an architect or design professional must determine the exact allowable size for a specific lot. Actual buildable area may be reduced or modified due to:
- •Required setbacks
- •Building envelope limitations
- •Hillside regulations
- •Height restrictions
- •Retention requirements
- •Other Town of Paradise Valley zoning and building codes
This tool is intended for estimate purposes only. Final allowable square footage is subject to Town review and approval.
In certain cases, additional or reduced square footage may be achievable depending on design, grading, and Town approvals.
