There is no general rule of thumb. Pull out the papers you signed at closing and look at your deed. All covenants and construction restrictions should at least be referred to in there. If you can't find it, call up the closing attorney and ask them to help you find it.

In the case of deeded lots that originally were owned by Alabama Power, I have seen examples where next door neighbors have different set back restrictions, due to the date and method of recording them.

Moral to the story - never assume. Don't ask a contractor. Don't ask your neighbor nor your granpappy. Look at the deed and get help until someone can point it out to you in black and white.
