Brevard County Land Development Regulations set setbacks by zoning district. SR (Single-Family) typically 25 ft front, 7.5 ft side, 20 ft rear. Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) adds beachside setbacks.
Brevard County Land Development Code Chapter 62 establishes minimum setbacks by zoning district. Typical single-family (SR, RU-1-7, RU-1-11, RU-1-13): 25 ft front, 7.5-10 ft side, 20-25 ft rear. Corner lots add secondary front setback. Accessory structures (sheds, detached garages) often 5 ft rear/side. Waterfront lots (Indian River Lagoon, Banana River) have 25-ft setbacks from mean high water line plus shoreline buffer. Beachside properties east of A1A face the FL DEP Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) - construction seaward of the CCCL requires a state DEP permit under FL §161.053. Variances go to the Brevard Planning & Zoning Board.
Building in setback: stop-work order and correction required. Fines $250-$2,500. CCCL violations: FL DEP fines and possible demolition order. Encroachments may require removal.
