        "text": "In Hillsborough County, building a new bathroom addition that extends beyond your home’s existing exterior walls requires adherence to local property setback limits and municipal lot coverage ratios. These zoning codes dictate how close an addition can sit to side and rear property lines. If your addition is built entirely within the home’s existing footprint, setbacks do not apply, but building, electrical, and plumbing codes still require formal permitting and inspections. Checking your property survey helps verify whether an exterior bump-out fits legally on your lot.",
