Titusville, FL Building Setbacks & Zoning: Setback Rules (2026)

Setback minimums fall as density rises across Titusville's residential zoning districts, all set out in the 'Intensity and Dimensional Standards' table for each district in Chapter 28, Article VI. Residential Estate (RE), the one-acre-minimum estate district, carries the City's largest yards under Sec. 28-301: 35 feet front, 35 feet side corner, 20 feet interior side and 30 feet rear. Rural Residential (RR, Sec. 28-302) steps down to 30 feet front, 25 feet side corner, 15 feet interior side and 30 feet rear on its half-acre minimum lots. Single-Family Low Density (R-1A, Sec. 28-303) requires 30 feet front, 25 feet side corner, 15 feet interior side and 25 feet rear on 10,000-square-foot lots, and Single-Family Medium Density (R-1B, Sec. 28-304) drops further to 25 feet front, 20 feet side corner, 10 feet interior side and 25 feet rear.

Single-Family High Density (R-1C, Sec. 28-305), the City's smallest standard single-family lots at 6,500 square feet, carries the tightest single-family yards: a 25-foot front setback, reduced to 20 feet where the garage faces the rear per the section's footnote, a 20-foot side corner, a 10-foot interior side and a 25-foot rear setback. Multifamily and manufactured-housing districts carry their own separate tables in Sec. 28-306 through Sec. 28-309, and Sec. 28-10 lets the Administrator partially waive front, rear, side and side-corner setbacks citywide where an applicant meets the criteria in Chapter 34, Article V, Division 7. Overlay districts covering the shoreline, airport-impact area and historic district can layer additional setback requirements on top of these underlying district figures, and Sec. 28-12 requires compliance with whichever standard, the base zoning district or the overlay, is stricter.
