Full Breakdown
Deltona Code of Ordinances § 110-307(d) sets the dimensional table for the R1-AAA, R1-AA, R1-A, and R1 Single-Family classifications: a minimum 25-foot front yard (30 feet where the lot fronts an arterial or collector street), 10-foot rear yard, 6-foot side yard, and 25-foot side-street yard (15 feet in the R1 Arbor Ridge Subdivision). Lot size minimums scale with the district, from 20,000 square feet in R1-AAA down to 5,000 square feet in Arbor Ridge R1. Other single-family and multifamily classifications carry their own dimensional tables under §§ 110-305 through 110-318.
Violations & Fines
Building within the required yard is a zoning violation under § 110-900(f), enforced per F.S. ch. 162; the enforcement official can order correction, and each day the encroachment continues is a separate offense.
