Seminole's Chapter 70 zoning code establishes minimum front, side, and rear setbacks for each district. Standard single-family lots typically require 25-foot front, 7.5-foot side, and 20-foot rear setbacks.
Article V of Chapter 70 contains the City of Seminole's district regulations, including setback tables for each residential and nonresidential zoning category. Single-family residential districts (R-1, R-2) typically require minimum front yards of 25 feet, side yards of 7.5 feet, and rear yards of 20 feet, though dimensions vary by district. Corner lots have a side-street setback equal to the front. Accessory structures such as sheds and detached garages have reduced rear and side setbacks but cannot be located in front of the principal structure. Variances require Board of Adjustment review under Article XI.
Structures violating setbacks are subject to code enforcement, may require relocation or removal, and block certificates of occupancy until corrected.
