Zoning, Setbacks and Permitted Uses in Tyler
The City of Tyler says setbacks depend on your zoning and allowed uses depend on your zoning, and its FAQ points to the Dimensional Standards Table and the Permitted Use Table in the Unified Development Code. The code is not saved here, so this site states no setback and no allowed use, for a pole barn or anything else.

What pole barn work in Tyler actually involves
The City of Tyler's Development and Planning FAQs page (read October 7, 2026) says to look up your zoning at SmithCountyMapSite.org, then check the Dimensional Standards Table in the Unified Development Code for setbacks, and to review the Permitted Use Table in the code for allowed uses. We have not read either table.
The code's own page
The City of Tyler's Unified Development Code page offers the code as a PDF download and prints Last Update 9/11/2024. It describes the code as an outcome of the Tyler 1st planning process that puts into ordinance many of the ideas developed from community feedback. It states no rule.
Where to ask
The Unified Development Code page says, for more information, to contact a Planner at (903) 531-1175. The City's Planning and Zoning Information page also lists a Residential Use Table and a Non-Residential (Office, Commercial, Industrial) Use Table as documents, under the heading Zoning Districts, Permitted Uses, and Other Information; we have not read them. Sources, as text (read October 7, 2026): Unified Development Code, https://www.cityoftyler.org/City-Government/Development-Planning/Contractors-Developers/Current-Code-References/Unified-Development-Code; Planning and Zoning Information, https://www.cityoftyler.org/City-Government/Development-Planning/Planning-and-Zoning-Information.
Zoning is the starting point the City's FAQ gives for both questions. No page we read says what any zoning allows for a pole barn.
