How can the setbacks of neighboring properties be determined?
Applications for building permit are required to provide documentation of existing setbacks of neighboring properties. If a plat of survey is being prepared or updated for a property, the surveyor should be directed to show the existing street setbacks of neighboring properties on the plat. The City has plats of survey on file for many properties and can check to see if current plats are on file for a specific address. For more information, contact the Planning Department.
