Permitting metal buildings in DeSoto County
The county permits unincorporated land, and anything bigger, taller or closer to the road than its zoning allows goes to the Board of Adjustment.
Size
- An accessory building larger than 50% of the house’s square footage takes a variance from the Board of Adjustment.
Height & location
- Accessory buildings taller than 20 feet, or placed in the designated front yard, also need a variance.
The hearing
- The board asks about the building’s size, use, color, distance from the house and whether it will have power or plumbing.
In DeSoto County, a big shop is a board question. County residents regularly ask the Board of Adjustment for metal buildings larger than half their home. We prepare the drawings, dimensions and site plan the board asks about, so your hearing goes smoothly.
