Quarter-acre Deltona Lakes lots and the easement rule
Deltona counts 35,669 single-family parcels, and 32,357 of them sit in the numbered Deltona Lakes units. The biggest, Unit 32, holds 2,281 on its own. In the largest units lots average roughly 0.23 to 0.30 acre. Put a new footing on a lot that size and you're working near the side lines, the swale and any recorded easement.
Under Deltona's driveway code, no improvement may go in a recorded drainage or utility easement, and the permittee is responsible for any damage to the right-of-way, including the edge of pavement, turf, sidewalks, meter boxes and mailboxes. We lay out footings the same way, clear of every recorded easement. Read your plat and survey for easements before the footing is drawn. Then send both to us. The Building Services Division takes permits through the city's online self-service portal. Countywide rules are in our Volusia County permit guide.
