Permitting metal buildings in Denham Springs
The city’s Office of Planning and Development issues the permit, and in a flood zone, elevation shapes the building as much as placement does.
Placement
- Accessory structures go only in the side or rear yard, never the front yard.
- No part of the structure may be within 5 feet of a property line.
Permit drawings
- Permits need a site plan, a floor plan with labeled spaces, and foundation details showing footing size and reinforcement.
- Drawings for smaller structures can be hand drawn if they’re clear.
Flood zones
- The design flood elevation is the base flood elevation plus 2 feet.
- Accessory structures of 500 sq ft or less can have a floor below it if they’re anchored against flotation and collapse and meet the flood program’s opening rules, among other conditions.
In Denham Springs, 500 sq ft is the flood line. Stay at or under it and a building can sit below the design flood elevation with vents and anchoring. Go bigger and the floor has to rise. We check your flood zone first and design the slab or vents to match.
We also serve Walker, Watson and the rest of Livingston Parish. See all of Louisiana.
