Do I need a permit to build a shed and where on my property can I put it?

In accordance with Section 16-3-10 of the Municipal Code, a permit is only required if:  1) the proposed shed exceeds one hundred-twenty (120) square feet; OR - 2) is taller than ten (10) feet at the peak.  If a permit is required, the structure shall meet the Town’s setback requirements.  No accessory building, regardless of its size, shall be located any closer to the front property line than the rear corners of the principal building (accessory buildings are only allowed in rear yards) [Sec. 16-3-10].  For permit questions, please visit the Building Permit webpage.
