Doral, FL Building Setbacks & Zoning: Setback Rules (2026)

The City of Doral Land Development Code establishes minimum setback requirements for all properties based on zoning district classification. For single-family residential zones, typical requirements include a 25-foot front setback from the property line, 7.5-foot side setbacks (with 15 feet on corner lots for the street-facing side), and a 15-foot rear setback. Multi-family residential zones may have different requirements depending on density. Commercial zones generally require 25-foot front setbacks and 10 to 15-foot side and rear setbacks, with variations based on the specific commercial district. Industrial and warehouse zones in the western part of Doral near the airport have their own setback standards. Properties in planned unit developments (PUDs) and within Downtown Doral may follow specific development order setbacks rather than standard zoning requirements. Setback variances require approval from the Board of Zoning Appeals. All new construction, additions, pools, and accessory structures must comply with setback requirements. A building permit application triggers setback review. Contact the Building Department at (305) 593-6740 for specific setback requirements for your property.
