How close to a property line am I allowed to build a house, garage, shed, etc?
Setback requirements vary depending upon the zoning classification of a property. In order to get specific setback information, call the Planning Services Department at (319) 273-8606. Be prepared to give an address or parcel identification number in order for staff to look up the zoning classification.
