The garage or outbuilding must be at least 5’ from property lines and 10’ from any other structure on the lot. Refer to: Setback And Lot Requirements For Zoning Districts

The most accurate way is to hire a surveyor and have them set pins. You can also call the Planning and Redevelopment Division at 732-2900. We can offer some suggestions to help you get a good idea where your lot lines are, but they are not as accurate as a survey.

For a standard-size lot (minimum of 60’ wide), you can build as close as 25’ to your front property line and as close as 8’ to your rear property line. In general, for lots which are not on a corner, you can build as close as 8’ to your side property line as long as you allow at least 12’ of space on the opposite side of the structure (for a total of 20’ of side yard setback).

Residential accessory structures are permitted within residential zones. Minimum setbacks and maximum height requirements and floor area ratios are dependent on your property's zoning. Call Planning Services to obtain the specific standards for your property. It is advisable to separate the accessory building from the primary building by at least 6-feet.

One "accessory building" is permitted on each parcel. Minimum side and rear setbacks of 3 feet are required, and it is advisable to separate the accessory building from the primary building by at least 6 feet. If the accessory building is less than 120 square feet, no building permit is required. A building permit is required for an accessory building of 120 square feet or larger. The height limit of an accessory building is 12’.

Yes, we have a few sub-contractors that build all of our garages, steps, decks, etc. for us. Also, since all of the products that go into our homes are name brand products, the can all be purchased locally. In other words, we can match siding colors, shingle colors, windows, etc.

Ans: It depends on the type of structure you are building and what zoning district your property is located in. Call the Building/Zoning Department for further information.

Sheds, swimming pools and garages are considered accessory structures and must be constructed in the rear half of the lot, never the front. Privacy fences cannot exceed 7 feet in height, cannot be in the front yard, and if you are on are corner lot, the fence must be 12.5 feet in from the exterior side (street side) property line. No fence over 4 feet in height may be erected in the front yard and shall have a minimum of 75% of its surface open.

No detached garage shall exceed 26’ in length or width or be over 676 square feet in area in any residential district zone with ½ acre or less. On lots greater than ½ acre the total lot coverage (footprint of allstructures added together) cannot exceed 10%.

It depends upon the depth of the well, if you have leased your property, and if the well is going to be a vertical or directional well. A vertical well cannot be drilled closer than 100 feet from any property not in the drilling unit but may need to be up to 500 feet depending upon the depth of the well. A directional well can conceivably be drilled right next to a property line.

Johnston County does not have a set back requirement for fences. We recommend, however, that you make sure that the fence is completely within your side of the property line.

The Division does not regulate distance between new homes and existing wells or existing tanks. Therefore, we have no minimum distance in this case. However, there are safety and environmental concerns associated with oil and gas wells and there may be occasions when heavy equipment will need to access the well. There is a 100 foot minimum setback requirement from homes for new wells and production equipment.

Our tractors are highly maneuverable and lightweight. In most cases, this means we can safely operate within a foot of your garage door, a parked car, or other object blocking our tractor. If the operator deems that the potential for damage is too high, we will not approach the object so closely. FAQ Menu ----------------------------------- About ALPINE SMITH, Inc.

There are area limits imposed by the Zoning Ordinance. The area of all accessory uses--the area of your attached garage plus any detached garages and sheds and any other buildings (structures with roofs) on your property-- are added together. The amount permitted is either 750 square feet or 60 percent of the ground floor area of your house (not counting the attached garage) whichever is the larger of the two figures.
