Permitting metal buildings in Brandon
Brandon replaced its 2016 zoning ordinance in April 2026, and the new code sets accessory building size and setbacks by zoning district.
Placement
- Accessory buildings go in the rear yard, behind the house. Estate (RE) districts also allow the side yard.
- In R-12, a detached garage or carport can go in the side yard if it matches the house in architecture, materials, finishes and colors. Every accessory building stays 5 feet from other buildings.
Size & height
- Accessory buildings in residential districts top out at 20 feet.
- In R-12 and the denser residential districts, size is capped at 5% of the lot or 750 sq ft, whichever is greater. Estate districts have no size cap.
Setbacks & living space
- Estate districts need 10 feet from side and rear lines; R-12 needs 8 feet from the side and 5 from the rear.
- A detached secondary dwelling is a conditional use on lots of an acre or more, limited to 30% of the house’s heated space, with the house owner-occupied.
In Brandon, the district sets the size. On an R-12 lot of 20,000 sq ft, 5% allows a 1,000 sq ft building; on an estate lot there’s no cap at all. We check your zoning district first, then size the building to fit.
Outside city limits, Rankin County sets the rules; see our Pearl guide for nearby city rules. See all of Mississippi.
