You will need a county permit and ARC approval. Generally, the contractor will prepare plans, with the appropriate setbacks, and obtain the permit(s) and ARC approval. As far as I know, the setbacks are locked it stone. About 10 years ago, the Sumter County setback from back property line (wall) was 10 ft., but they changed it a few years ago to 5 ft. The setbacks are county. ARC has no say in setbacks, but they make sure that your construction project meets all deed restrictions and complies with neighborhood architectural elements.
