All detached structures that are larger than 120 square feet require a building permit. In residential areas, accessory buildings may be built a size not to exceed 25 percent of the rear yard square feet or 900 square feet, which ever is greater, unless approved by a conditional use permit. To measure the square feet of your back yard, the rule of thumb is to use the back wall of the house, then measure the square feet from the back wall to the rear property lines. Setbacks will be dependent on your address. Please call for the required setbacks.

For a second accessory structure, you will be required to obtain a conditional use permit. A conditional use permit will require additional time and fees, so be prepared to include the extra time and fees in your budget.
