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.
Typically you are not to build a fence anywhere past your property line.
how far off the property line do you have to be for a house addition in susex county delaware
I'm not sure there are any restrictions to where you build on your property. You can build right on the edge of your property line if you want, though most people like to have a little bit of yard all around the house.
It depends on the setback requirements in the property's zoning. If it's zoned, the zoning regulations will state how close any part of the building can be to the property.

That issue is governed by local law. You need to call your town clerk and ask that question.
The fence cannot be outside your property line.
You need to contact the town clerk's office and inquire about building regulations for your particular town.
That depends on how close to the property line you are allowed to build, how far from the street does the house need to be, if there are any easements on the property and the maximum number of floors for which the area is zoned.
yes you can but you have to be careful where the foundation wall sits. And the thickness of the footing has to be doubled and the projection cannot be on the other property.
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.
