Flag lots are so named because of the long, slender strips of land resembling flag poles that extend from the typically rectangular main sections of these lots — or the “flags” — out to the street. Each “flag pole” typically provides just enough frontage for vehicle access and is often shared by several neighbors.
The City of Austin adopted a new ordinance related to flag lots in May of 2012. The constant development pressures on the urban core of Austin make flag lots a practical alternative to conventional lots.
