Setbacks and the Moraine

Stouffville's zoning keeps decks at least 3 m from the rear lot line. On shallow lots, that shapes how big a deck can be before we even choose materials.

Rural properties on the Oak Ridges Moraine and lots near flood-prone land may need approval from the Toronto and Region or Lake Simcoe Region conservation authority. We check before designing.
