What people build around Bardstown
Bardstown is the seat of Nelson County, with small towns and farm ground spread around it.
Garages in town
Every accessory building gets a zoning review first. We check the setbacks for your lot before anything is drawn.
Acreage shops
Tubular steel is usually the answer for an unfinished shop under sixty feet wide.
Farm buildings
Hay and equipment storage goes up across the county. 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.
Permitted commercial work often suits cold-formed steel, with a finished eave standard. See what a steel building costs.
Permitting metal buildings in Bardstown and Nelson County
Zoning review comes first, and it covers more than most counties.
Zoning compliance permit
- Required for any construction, addition, alteration, demolition or placement of a building.
- That includes agricultural structures and accessory buildings.
- The commission reviews it against the zoning and subdivision rules, site plan guidelines and commercial design standards.
Building code
- The Kentucky state code applies across the county.
- Farm buildings that serve the farm are exempt from it outside city limits.
- That exemption is from the building code, not from zoning.
Engineering
- Occupied buildings are Risk Category II wherever they sit.
- We run the ASCE 7 hazard tool against your address and provide the drawings your permit needs.
The farm exemption isn’t a zoning exemption. Kentucky exempts farm buildings from the state building code outside city limits. Nelson County’s planning commission still requires a zoning compliance permit for agricultural structures, so we plan for that paperwork on every farm build here.
We also serve Bloomfield, Fairfield, New Haven, Cox’s Creek and Boston. See Elizabethtown, the Louisville metro or all of Kentucky.
