Sq feet/ land size?

Here is how you figure out the size of your lot:

127x185 = 23495 Sq. Ft. To find out the acreage, divide by 43,560. 23495/43560 = .5393 Acres.

Call the planning/building commission office in your town. They will give you your setback requirements. Additionally, remember that you CANNOT build over any easements that are on the property - and most have a utility easement of some kind.

In my opinion, you have plenty of room to build your house on this sized lot.

If it is on city services - water and sewer - typically the amount of land necessary is much less than a country property that requires well and septic. Then you must meet distance requirements between where the well is and where the septic laterals or tank is, in addition to having the soil checked for perkability. These tests are done by a soil scientist, and are called soil borings. The distance between the well and the septic is to prevent contamination of the well from the septic.

Hope this helps - good luck!

Your lot is just over 1/2 an acre. As far as determining if your house will fit, you need to check the covenants and restrictions for the area. They will tell you what your setbacks are.

Setbacks are a given distance away from the property lines.

Any structure built on the property has to be within those setback lines.

With your lot being around a 1/2 acre and your house almost 2000 sq. ft. I assume that you are on a city lot with water and septic. If this is the case, then the lot is big enough for your home. That is, of course, if your home is somewhat standard.
