In Santa Rosa County's R-1, R-1M and RR-1 districts, the front setback is 25 feet (20 feet in R-1A), the rear setback is 15 feet, and side setbacks equal 10% of lot width (7 feet minimum for 70-90-foot lots, 15-foot maximum). Cities set their own setbacks.
LDC Table 2.05.01 sets dimensional standards for the unincorporated county. Single-family districts RR-1, R-1 and R-1M require a 25-foot front setback; R-1A requires 20 feet. On a residential collector street the front setback rises to 35 feet. The rear setback is 15 feet. Side setbacks are 10% of lot width per side, capped at 15 feet, with a 7-foot minimum on 70-to-90-foot lots. Detached accessory buildings over 10 feet from the dwelling may sit as close as 5 feet from interior side and rear lot lines. Shoreline and Navarre Beach parcels have larger setbacks.
Structures built inside a required setback violate the LDC; the county may deny final inspection, require a variance, or pursue code enforcement with corrective action and fines.
