Apopka R-1 zoning requires 25-foot front, 7.5-foot side, and 20-foot rear setbacks for single-family homes. R-2 and R-3 setbacks vary. Corner lots require setbacks from both street frontages.
Apopka Land Development Code Chapter 110 establishes dimensional standards by zoning district. R-1A (large lot) requires 30/10/25 setbacks. R-1 standard: 25/7.5/20. R-2 (medium density): 20/5/15. Accessory structures have reduced setbacks (typically 5 feet side/rear). Variances require Board of Adjustment approval with demonstration of hardship. Apopka enforces sight-distance triangles at intersections (25-foot visibility clearance).
Setback encroachment: stop-work order plus 500 dollar fine. Structure built in setback: removal order or variance application required.
