Thinking of building a shed? Before you get started, make sure you’re in the clear with your local permitting rules. This guide walks you through the most common steps to keep your project smooth and stress-free.
Step 1: Start with the Basics
✔ Review your local zoning and land use rules to find out if permits are required.
✔ Look into any construction or property codes that may apply.
✔ Measure your available space and ensure the shed fits within any setback rules (how far it must be from fences, property lines, etc.).
Step 2: Gather Your Paperwork
✔ Draft a plan showing shed size, materials, and what it will be used for.
✔ Include a property survey or deed, if required.
✔ For larger or specialized sheds, you may need engineering or structural details.
✔ Draw a basic site plan showing the shed’s location relative to other structures.
Step 3: Apply for the Permit
✔ Submit the application through your town or city’s building department or website.
✔ Attach all necessary documents and drawings.
✔ Pay the permit fee.
✔ Confirm if any homeowners association (HOA) approval is also required.
Step 4: Build with Confidence
✔ Schedule inspections if your area requires them.
✔ Construct your shed as approved — follow the submitted plans.
✔ After building, finalize inspections and get approval so you’re fully compliant.
