My front lot line is designated to be located 7 feet back from the street pavement. So, the 7-foot strip of land between the lot line and the street is not on my property.
Agreed.

The drawings I received with my home show 3.5' between the edge of the road and the beginning of my property. The Sumter County Property Appraiser page for my home shows the same.

But my home is on a circle. My neighbor's homes that are on the straight portion of the street show more area between the road and the property line - about twice as much - which would be the 7' strip mentioned in this and other posts.
