Residential setbacks vary by zone, with typical R-1-8 standards of 25-foot front, 8-foot side, and 25-foot rear yards.
Title 13 of the West Jordan Municipal Code establishes setback requirements by zoning district. In the common R-1-8 single-family zone, front-yard setbacks are 25 feet, side yards are 8 feet (10 feet on corner lots street side), and rear yards are 25 feet. R-1-10 and larger-lot zones have deeper setbacks. Accessory structures such as detached garages and sheds have reduced rear and side setbacks, typically 3 to 5 feet. Variances require application to the Board of Adjustment.
