Do I Need a Permit to Build a Shed in Utah?
Shed permit requirements. Size thresholds, setback rules, and when you can build without a permit.
Under 200 sq ft and under 10 feet tall? Usually no. Bigger? Yes.
Utah-specific rules
Adopted code: 2021 IRC, adopted statewide under Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (in force through June 30, 2026; the IRC edition does not change on July 1, 2026). Detached accessory structures like sheds fall under the IRC's general permit-exemption provisions for small structures, but Utah's statewide amendments (Title 15A, Chapter 3) do not restate a specific square-footage threshold for accessory-structure permit exemptions — confirm the exemption threshold with your local building department before building.
Sources: Utah State Construction and Fire Codes Act (Title 15A)
The 200 Sq Ft Rule
Most cities exempt sheds under 200 square feet and under 10 feet in height from building permits. This applies to simple storage sheds, garden sheds, and similar structures without plumbing or electrical. Even exempt sheds must comply with setback requirements.
Setbacks Still Apply
Even without a permit, your shed must meet zoning setbacks — typically 5 feet from side and rear property lines. Sheds cannot be placed in utility easements. Corner lots have additional restrictions. Check your city's zoning code before choosing a location.
When You Definitely Need a Permit
A permit is required for: sheds over 200 sq ft, sheds over 10 feet tall, any shed with electrical wiring, any shed with plumbing, and detached garages or carports regardless of size. Prefab and kit sheds over 200 sq ft still need permits — the rule is based on size, not construction method.
HOA Restrictions
Many HOAs have additional shed restrictions: approved materials and colors, maximum size smaller than city code allows, and sometimes outright prohibition of certain shed types. Get HOA approval before purchasing or building.
Small sheds (under 200 sq ft, under 10 ft tall, no utilities) are usually permit-free. Everything else needs one. Always check setbacks.
