DeKalb County zoning (Chapter 27) sets residential setbacks by district: R-100 requires 35 ft front, 10 ft side, 40 ft rear. R-75 reduces these. Corner lots have dual frontage.
DeKalb County Zoning Ordinance Chapter 27 establishes minimum setbacks by residential district. R-200 (largest lot): 60 ft front, 15 ft side, 50 ft rear. R-100: 35 ft front, 10 ft side, 40 ft rear. R-85: 30 ft front, 10 ft side, 40 ft rear. R-75: 30 ft front, 7.5 ft side, 40 ft rear. MR (multi-family residential) and commercial districts have their own standards. Corner lots must meet front setback on both street frontages. Accessory structures typically allowed closer to rear lot lines (5 to 10 ft). Variances go through the DeKalb County Zoning Board of Appeals. Historic districts (Druid Hills, Stone Mountain) may require HPC review even for compliant additions.
Building in setback: stop-work order, fines $500 to $2,500. May require removal or variance application. Continuing work after stop-work: doubled fines and possible court action.
