What are the regulations about a deck?
Please download this handout for information about deck regulations.


What about a shed? Where can I put it, what kind, how big?
Sheds are regulated by two sections of the Code of Ordinances: The ICC/IRC Building Code and Zoning Code.

A shed must be constructed safely and anchored to the ground. The building code requires that it be built to withstand 90 mph winds and a snow load of 20 lbs. for the roof.

Sheds 160 sq. ft. and under can be set on the ground, on a concrete pad, or attached to posts as long as it is anchored to the yard. Permits for these sheds are generally $30.00. Sheds over 160 sq. ft. must be placed on a footing/foundation (frost wall) system. Permits for the bigger sheds will be based on their square footage (minimum amount $30.00).

As an accessory structure, the zoning code requires a shed to be a minimum of 6 ft. from the property line and 10 feet from the house. If the shed is closer than 10 feet from the house then the setbacks are those that are applied to the house which are generally more than 6 ft. from a property line (depends on the subdivision).

Individual subdivision regulations may be more restrictive than the city codes so please check with your property owners association prior to obtaining a permit.
