Dunedin's setback rules vary by zoning district under Chapter 103. Small lots under 6,000 square feet generally require a 15-foot front setback, while perimeter lots in form-based districts require 15 feet on front, side, and rear.
Setback requirements in Dunedin are established in Chapter 103 of the Code of Ordinances and the Form-Based Zoning Code in section 103-23.31. Standard residential districts have specific front, side, and rear minimums determined by the district summary. For lots with less than 70 feet of depth or under 6,000 square feet, the front yard setback is at minimum 15 feet. Perimeter lots also require 15-foot setbacks on all sides. Form-based districts allow front setbacks down to 0 feet when buildings are placed at the right-of-way edge with screened side or rear parking. Accessory structures, eaves, and porches have additional projection rules.
Building inside a required setback can result in stop-work orders, denial of certificate of occupancy, required structural removal, or variance application fees and delay.
