Metal buildings in Shelbyville, KY.
We supply shops, barns, barndominiums, commercial buildings and more across Shelbyville and Shelby County. Our work reaches from Shelbyville and Simpsonville to the farm ground around Bagdad and Waddy, and anywhere else you’re building. You’ll need a physical address before any building permit, and lot numbers aren’t accepted.

Then
Zoning permit

What people build around Shelbyville
Shelbyville is the seat of Shelby County, between Louisville and Frankfort, with farm ground on every side.
Garages in town
Triple S zoning sets the setbacks for Shelbyville and Simpsonville lots. We check them 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 Shelbyville and Shelby County
The order matters here: address, then zoning, then the building permit.
Address & zoning
- Building and electric permits need a physical address. Lot numbers aren’t accepted.
- The zoning permit comes from Triple S Planning and Zoning, which also helps with addressing.
- Triple S is at 419 Washington Street in Shelbyville. Call (502) 633-1718.
Building permits
- The building inspector depends on where the job site is: the county or the city.
- One-story storage sheds up to 120 sq ft don’t need a building permit.
- Inside Shelbyville, sites disturbing half an acre or more need a land disturbance permit before the city building permit.
Farm & engineering
- Farm buildings that serve the farm are exempt from the state code outside city limits.
- 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.
Get the address first. Shelby County won’t issue a building or electric permit to a lot number. On new acreage, the address is the first piece of paperwork, and Triple S Planning and Zoning can help assign it.
We also serve Simpsonville, Bagdad, Waddy, Finchville and Mount Eden. See La Grange, the Louisville metro or all of Kentucky.
