It varies. "Setback" - the distance between improvements and the property line - is usually prescribed in a given locality by zoning, which is a unified plan indicating which uses are allowed in specific areas. So the answer can usually be found by contacting the zoning authority for the city/county/municipality where the property is located.

∙ 13y agoLocal planning and zoning is who to ask. Most locals that i have built in require a minimum of 5 ft from a property line, again, minimum. Some areas that changes due to multi units or even local regulations. Many cities have changed the rules to allow for greater density in areas where mass transit is accessible, in some cases, even allowing 3 feet between buildings, or 1.5 from the property line, with special firewall restrictions. Some places i have built in allow for garages to be built on the property line. Sometimes in answering this, there is also the consideration of easement restrictions that comes up. In short, ask your local zoning and planning to assist you with the specific question on the specific building you are building.
In many states the distance is 15 feet from the side and 30 feet from the front or back of the property.

What is building line in plat of survey?
A building line is a distance from the street or edge of your lot that you cannot build in. A building line can be in the front, side and rear yards. You can find building lines by looking at your property survey or the title policy you received when you purchased the property. For example, if you see a line running accross the front yard on your survey that says building line, you cannot build between that line and the street in front of your property. You can only get permission from your local municipality to build beyond the building line if the municipality was the body who placed building lines on your property. If your developer created the building line when he filed the plat of subdivision with the county, and your neighbors have not violated the building line, then most likely you will not be able to build beyond that line.
