What people build in Crestview
Crestview sets no size cap on accessory buildings and allows any number of them, as long as setbacks and site standards are met.
Shops & storage
Any number of accessory buildings may sit on a parcel with a permitted house, 3 feet from the side and rear lines.
Acreage lots
On lots outside recorded subdivisions, or lots 250 feet deep or more, accessory buildings can sit in the front yard, just not in the required front setback.
Carports
Carports can’t be taller than the house, must be at least 8 feet tall, and can sit in side yards up to the property line.
Commercial zones
In commercial and industrial zones, storage buildings and garages over 600 sq ft need brick, stone, stucco or similar finishes on sides visible from the street.
We work in tubular steel, cold-formed steel, steel truss and red iron. See what a steel building costs.
Permitting metal buildings in Crestview
Crestview requires a permitted principal structure on the parcel before any accessory building goes up.
Placement
- Platted subdivision lots and lots under 250 feet deep: side and rear yards only, 3 feet from the side and rear lines.
- Corner lots: buildings may sit in the secondary front yard, 3 feet back.
Spacing
- A building within 5 feet of the house has to meet the house’s setbacks.
- Buildings can’t sit in required buffers or landscape areas, and count toward impervious surface.
Use limits
- Home businesses can’t operate from an accessory building.
- Buildings storing hazardous materials for industrial use must sit 100 feet from property lines.
In Crestview, setbacks set the limit. With no size cap and front-yard placement allowed on deep lots, the real limits are setbacks and coverage. We’ll lay out the largest building your lot allows.
Accessory dwellings can be up to 900 sq ft or 40% of the house’s living area, whichever is greater. See all of Florida.
