Pasco County Land Development Code (LDC) §400 sets setbacks by zoning district. Typical R-2 single-family: 25 ft front, 7.5 ft side, 20 ft rear. Coastal high-hazard and floodway setbacks add FEMA and SWFWMD requirements.
Pasco County Land Development Code Section 400 (Zoning Districts) establishes minimum yard setbacks. In the most common single-family districts: R-1 requires 25 ft front, 10 ft side, 25 ft rear; R-2 requires 25 ft front, 7.5 ft side, 20 ft rear; R-3 multi-family 25/10/25. Agricultural AR and AC districts require 50 ft front with larger rear buffers. Corner lots must observe the full front setback on both street frontages. Waterfront lots require 25-50 ft from mean high water line. Properties in Coastal High Hazard Areas (V-zones per FEMA FIRM) and SWFWMD floodways face added building restrictions under LDC §900 and Florida Building Code 7th Edition Ch. 16. Variances processed by the Development Review Committee and Board of County Commissioners under LDC §402.
Construction within setback: stop-work order from Building Construction Services. Fines $250-$1,000 per day under Code Enforcement §2-123. Structure may be ordered removed at owner expense; lien attaches if unpaid.
