In unincorporated Leon County there is no single countywide setback. Required front, side, and rear yards are set by the zoning district in the Land Development Code (Ch. 10, Art. VI). In the common Residential Preservation district, setbacks match the surrounding subdivision rather than a fixed number.
Leon County's main residential zoning districts do not set a single maximum lot-coverage percentage. Instead, how much of a lot can be covered is controlled through density limits and the Environmental Management Act's stormwater and impervious-surface review (LDC Ch. 10, Art. IV), applied at permit/site-plan stage.
