Q Is a permit required to build a shed in Riverdale City?

Typically, a shed that is 200 square feet or less does not require a building permit unless some type of electrical or plumbing work will be completed. A shed that exceeds 200 square feet requires a building permit.

 

THINGS TO REMEMBER ABOUT SHEDS

 

1) A shed is considered an “Accessory Building” and accessory buildings have limitations in a residential zone. An accessory building cannot exceed twenty (20) feet in height nor can it be greater than 1,000 square feet in area. In addition, an accessory building or group of accessory buildings cannot cover more than twenty-five percent of your rear yard.

 

2) When an accessory building (shed) is detached from the main building (your house), and the accessory building is located at least six (6) feet behind the main building, then the rear yard set back for the accessory building may be no less than one (1) foot from the property line.

 

Simply put, the shed can be one foot off your property line if it is at least six (6) feet behind your house. WITH ONE EXCEPTION, IF THERE ARE UTILITY EASEMENTS. If the shed is not six (6) feet behind your house, the shed will have to meet the minimum side yard setback requirements for its designated zoning, which is typically eight (8) feet.

 

3) Utility easements are generally anywhere from five to ten feet and can be located almost anywhere on your property. Yes, it is still your property; however, utility companies have rights to that portion of your property. Permanent structures cannot be built in a utility easement. If you plan to build some type of shed or accessory building on your property, please contact the Community Development department at 801-394-5541 ext. 1216 to determine the size and location of the utility easements on your property.
