What people build around Warsaw
Kosciusko County is lake country, so boat and RV storage sits alongside shops and farm buildings.
Boat & RV storage
Tall doors and clear height drive these buildings, so the height rules matter from the start.
Garages & shops
Tubular steel is usually the answer for an unfinished building under sixty feet wide.
Farm buildings
Equipment storage and hay barns go up on farm ground. Red iron takes over past eighty feet.
Finished space
Steel truss is the fit here. Drywall attaches to the frame, so there’s no second wall to build.
Permitting metal buildings in Warsaw and Kosciusko County
The city caps height and count. The county permits every structure, lake lots included.
Inside Warsaw
- Accessory buildings top out at 18 feet and can never be taller than the house.
- No more than two freestanding accessory buildings are allowed per lot, and none closer to the street than the house.
- They’re for storing personal property only. A building with no house on the lot takes a variance.
Kosciusko County
- Every structure needs an Improvement Location Permit, with a site plan and a legal description.
- The county also enforces floodplain and stormwater rules, which matter on lake lots.
- Permits are applied for online. The Area Planning Office is at 100 W. Center Street in Warsaw.
Farm & engineering
- Under state law, a building used only for agriculture on the farm isn’t built to the building code.
- Occupied buildings are Risk Category II wherever they sit.
- We provide the engineered drawings your permit needs.
Storing a boat on a trailer? Check the height first. Inside Warsaw, an accessory building caps at 18 feet and can’t be taller than the house. Tall doors push the roof up fast, so we confirm the door height and the house height before we design.
We also serve Winona Lake, Syracuse, North Webster, Milford and Pierceton. See Northern Indiana or all of Indiana.
