5 essentials before design

2 of 5

Great design doesn’t matter if you can’t build it by code.

So many people jump into design before verifying their design will be allowed.

A quick call to the city is not enough.

There are multiple regulations that will need to be coordinated and won’t come up on a call to the city:

  • Zoning codes, setbacks, height restrictions

  • Overlay districts, historic districts, HOA rules

  • Flood zone restrictions: FEMA & local codes

  • Protected trees and protection zones

  • Impervious surface limits for stormwater

  • Parking and driveway regulations

Check out Zorro’s Zoning Reports

For single-family properties in the Tampa area we have a 24-hour zoning report - powered by Zorro, our zoning mascot. Order your zoning report today.

Skipping this step can lead to scrapping your design altogether. We can’t count how many projects have landed on our desk with permit comments that can’t be resolved - all because these weren’t checked before designing.
