What Is a Florida Setback Requirement?

Florida setback requirements are established by local zoning ordinances and establish minimum distances from property lines within which construction is not permitted. Common setback requirements include: front setback (distance from the front property line to the building), rear setback (distance from the rear property line), and side setbacks (distances from the side property lines). Setback requirements vary by zoning district and municipality. Pineland Engineering reviews setback requirements for each project and designs within the applicable setbacks.
