Deer Park zoning ordinance mandates specific front, side, and rear setbacks for residential structures. Standard residential lots require a 25-foot front setback, 5-foot side setback, and 20-foot rear setback.
Deer Park's Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 98, Appendix A) establishes setback requirements by zoning district. In the R-1 (Single-Family Residential) district, the standard setbacks are: front yard 25 feet from the property line, side yard 5 feet minimum (15 feet on street-side of corner lots), and rear yard 20 feet. In the R-2 district, front setbacks remain 25 feet with side yards reduced to 5 feet minimum. Accessory structures must maintain a 5-foot side and rear setback and cannot be in the front yard. Encroachments such as eaves and overhangs may project up to 2 feet into a required setback. Variance requests go through the Board of Adjustment. Building permits require a site plan showing all setback dimensions.
Stop-work order and required removal or modification of non-conforming structures. Fines up to $2,000 per day for continued violation.
