What people build around Mayfield
Mayfield is the county seat of Graves County, with farm ground on every side of town.
Garages on city lots
Accessory buildings go in the rear yard with six feet of clearance all around. We lay it out on your lot first.
Acreage shops
Tubular steel is usually the answer for an unfinished shop under sixty feet wide.
Farm buildings
Equipment and grain storage goes up across the county. Red iron takes over past eighty feet or for combine doors.
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 Mayfield and Graves County
Inside the city, Mayfield’s Codes Office handles zoning and permits.

Rural Graves County
- There’s no county zoning outside Mayfield’s city limits.
- The Kentucky state code still applies to anything that isn’t farm-exempt.
- Farm buildings that serve the farm are exempt from it.
Engineering
- Western Kentucky sits near the New Madrid fault, so seismic loads can shape the design.
- 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.
No zoning doesn’t mean no rules. Outside Mayfield, no county zoning sets your setbacks or limits the use. The state code still covers anything that isn’t farm-exempt, and every building still has to carry the wind, snow and seismic loads at its address.
We also serve Wingo, Fancy Farm, Sedalia and Farmington. See Murray, western Kentucky or all of Kentucky.
