Permitting metal buildings in Pocatello
Pocatello allows accessory buildings by right in every residential zone, within limits on size, height and placement.
Size & height
- All accessory buildings together can’t have a larger footprint than the house.
- Height is capped at the house’s peak or 20 feet, whichever is greater.
Placement
- No accessory buildings in the front or corner setback, and none in easements.
- Buildings over 200 sq ft sit at least 5 feet from interior side and rear lines; street-facing garages sit 25 feet back.
Design loads
- The city designs for a 45 psf ground snow load and a 35 psf roof snow load.
- Footings go 3 feet deep, and wind design uses 115 mph in Exposure C.
In Pocatello, the house sets the ceiling. Your accessory buildings can’t out-cover the house, and the height cap rises with the house’s roofline. We measure what you already have before we size the new building.
We also serve Chubbuck, Inkom and the rest of Bannock County. See all of Idaho.
