Mansfield zoning sets minimum front, side, and rear setbacks by district. Typical SF-7.5 residential requires 25-foot front, 5-foot side, and 10-foot rear setbacks.
Mansfield zoning ordinance establishes minimum yard setbacks for each residential and commercial district. Typical single-family districts require front setbacks of 25 feet, side setbacks of 5 to 10 feet, and rear setbacks of 10 to 25 feet depending on the district. Corner lots have two front setbacks facing the streets. Accessory structures generally must observe the same rear and side setbacks as the primary structure unless the district code allows reduced setbacks for detached garages or sheds. Setbacks are measured from the property line to the nearest point of the structure foundation, including eaves in some cases. Variances from setback requirements require a hearing before the Zoning Board of Adjustment showing a unique hardship not caused by the applicant. Planned developments and legacy plats may have platted building lines that differ from the base zoning, and the more restrictive controls. Always verify on your plat and zoning before building.
