Green Shield Deck Builders has an experienced permitting team that knows how to navigate property line setbacks in your area. Our permitters have worked in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio and know the subtle differences between each state, county, and city. In many locations our team can even negotiate on your behalf for access easements if needed for zero-lot line construction.
Property Line Setbacks
Property Line Setbacks are regulations around the required minimum distance between buildings and property lines or streets. Property line setbacks can vary significantly depending on zoning, municipality, and the type of structure being built. Figuring out properly line setbacks on your own can involve determining the properties zoning district, consulting official ordinances, and calling the planning department. Homeowners should seriously consider hiring a deck builder with experience in property line setbacks, so they don’t have to worry about miscalculations.
