how close can i build to my property line

[LeGriffin]

You can build as close to your property line as your local zoning ordinances allow, which is determined by the required setback. These setback requirements vary by location and the type of structure, with houses often needing a larger distance (e.g., 10–20 feet at the front/back, 5–10 feet at the sides) compared to fences or sheds (which might only need a few feet). To find the exact distance, you must contact your city or county planning and building department.
