This article will show you how to turn the setbacks on & off to hide them. As well as how to swap between local and state rules if available or edit & add your own setback dimensions.
All of the property rules and setbacks are build type specific. This means there must be a design on the property for the setbacks to display.
Not all regions or build types will have both state & local setback rules loaded. If the rules on the site you visit are not up to date or missing you can send a request to the support team & and they will update them.
Specific rules for new Estates/Subdivisions/Communities can be added on request.

Sometimes if there is no house on the property or no digital outline where the house should be the setbacks might not work correctly as they need the front setback from the house to be define.

- Draw a Polygon & Tag it as House

- View the complete rules.
If the setbacks don't show up at all this could be because the boundary segments for Front, Side & Rear are not define.
