Written by Kevin Coulston

This is a line specified at a particular distance from the front and/or sides of a lot beyond which no structure cannot be placed. These are also known as setbacks as a building must be set back a fixed distance from the property line. Building lines are placed to make sure that streets will remain and appear uniform.
