What people build in Buxton
Buxton sets big rural setbacks but gives smaller outbuildings some relief.
Detached garages
Up to 750 sq ft and 18 feet tall, the Code Enforcement Officer can allow 20 feet from side and rear lines.
Barns
Farm buildings can exceed 35 feet if they sit back from every line as far as they are tall.
Animal buildings
Buildings that house animals don’t get the reduced setback.
Business buildings
Commercial buildings near the main state routes must meet design standards.
We work in tubular steel, cold-formed steel, steel truss and red iron. See what a steel building costs.
