What people build in Prattville
A growing city near Montgomery where bigger accessory buildings have to look like the house.
Detached garages
Behind the front of the house. Over 200 sq ft, the siding has to be the same as or complementary to the house.
Workshops
Up to 25 feet or two stories. Above 15 feet, the building moves 1 foot farther from the side and rear lines for every 2 feet of extra height.
Storage buildings
All accessory buildings together can cover no more than half of the established rear yard, so sheds count toward the total.
Accessory dwellings
Allowed in R-1, R-2 and FAR when the owner lives on site, from 200 sq ft up to half the house or 1,000 sq ft.
We work in tubular steel, cold-formed steel, steel truss and red iron. See what a steel building costs.

In Prattville, a big building has to match the house. Over 200 sq ft, the cladding has to be the same as or complementary to the house. Under the earlier ordinance, a metal-clad building in a farm district needed a variance. We’ll go over siding and trim that suits your house before drawings are made.
