How large a building can I construct before a permit is required?
One-story detached accessory buildings used as tool and storage sheds playhouses and similar uses do not require a building permit provided the floor area does not exceed 120 square feet. However, any accessory building (whether exempt from a permit or not) would need to comply with the setback and zoning requirements associated with the parcel upon which it is to be constructed. Please contact the City Planning Division to obtain this information at (805) 237-3970.
