Does a storage shed require a Town Building Permit?
This is strictly a matter of size and use, any building that is 120 square feet in size or larger requires a building permit. A permit is required also if any utilities such as electrical and/or plumbing are installed in the storage shed or if the storage shed is connected to the house or another structure of any kind. Structures of less than 120 square feet do not require a permit from the Town to build, but proper setbacks are required. Although your own specific development may vary, as rule a five (5) foot setback is required for any structure six (6) feet in height, a further one (1) foot setback is required for each additional one (1) foot in height. For additional information, please contact Development Services (480) 503-6700.
