Setback to boundary Typically ~5–15 ft side, ~20–40 ft rear (set by local zoning) Local rules

Important limitation

The catalog is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the land plot category, local land-use and development rules, easements, utility protection zones and neighbour buildings.
