Setback Requirements

Setback requirements are regulations that specify the minimum distance a building or structure must be placed away from property lines, streets, or other designated areas. These rules help ensure adequate space for safety, privacy, and neighborhood aesthetics. They also facilitate access for maintenance and emergency services. Setbacks can vary based on zoning laws, building type, and location. Adhering to setback requirements ensures developments are properly positioned, promotes harmonious community design, and prevents buildings from encroaching on neighboring properties or public spaces.
