What people build in Greeley
Greeley sorts outbuildings into three sizes, and lot size decides which you can build.
Garages & shops
A secondary building can be half the house footprint, up to 1,200 sq ft and 25 feet, but no taller than the house.
Barns on acreage
Lots over an acre can add outbuildings up to 2,000 sq ft and 25 feet; 5,000 sq ft and 60 feet in the H-A zone.
Wall and roof height
Over 250 sq ft or 12 feet, walls stop at 9 feet and the peak at 22 feet with a 6:12 pitch.
Small sheds
Up to 120 sq ft and 12 feet tall, behind the house; no setback if it is not on a slab.
We work in tubular steel, cold-formed steel, steel truss and red iron. See what a steel building costs.
Permitting metal buildings in Greeley
Greeley’s rules focus on lot size and building type.
Garage setbacks
- 5 feet from side and rear, 20 from a street side.
- 12 feet behind the front of the house.
Barn setbacks
- 10 feet from side and rear, 30 from a street side.
- Behind the back of the house.
How many
- One garage or shop, two over an acre.
- Barns: up to 4 on larger acreage.
In Greeley, a low-pitch roof caps a garage at 16 feet. A 6:12 pitch or steeper lets the peak reach 22.
Garages and shops must match the house in materials; buildings near oil and gas wells have extra setbacks. We confirm by address. See all of Colorado.
