FAQ
Local governments apply setbacks to establish 'no-building zones' on the property. Another benefit of setbacks is that they keep harmful operations and traffic at bay. What's the definition of a setback? It's the smallest distance from the property line you should maintain when building structures.
The most common minimum setback requirement in Florida is 25 feet from the property line for most structures.
If a deed restriction is not enforceable, you can choose to ignore it and take on the risk of a neighbor filing suit, or you can seek out a judge's ruling to have the covenant removed from the deed. Obtaining that ruling is easier when no one is actively enforcing the covenant.
Easement or servitude is a strip reserved by the subdivider for public utilities, drainage and other public purposes, the title to which shall remain in the property owner, subject to the right of use designated in the reservation of the servitude.
The exact amount a building needs to be set back from the property line will vary from one location to another. However, the required setback on the side is typically between 5 – 10 feet, while the front and back require around 10 – 20 feet at a minimum.
From front property line, seventy-five (75) feet. From rear property line, seven and one-half (7½) feet. Between buildings on same lot, parcel or tract of land, twenty (20) feet. From interior side property line, twenty (20) feet.
