What people build in Madison County
Suburban growth north of Jackson meets cattle and timber country, and the building needs change mile by mile.
Barns
Hay, cattle and equipment barns go up on the county’s open land.
Shops
Personal shops go up beside homes on acreage.
Detached garages
Garages and RV storage sit beside or behind the house.
Finished shops
A finished shop is a different engineering question from storage, even at identical dimensions.
Use, width, door openings and finish decide which system makes sense. We offer tubular steel, cold-formed steel, steel truss and red iron. See what a steel building costs.
Permitting and engineering in Madison County
The county zones its unincorporated land. Madison, Ridgeland, Canton and the other cities set their own rules inside city limits.
Location
- No accessory building can sit in the front yard.
- It has to sit behind the front line of the house, in the side or rear yard.
Setbacks
- In the side or rear yard, accessory buildings sit at least 10 feet from the side and rear property lines.
Barns & business use
- The county’s definition of an accessory structure includes barns.
- No accessory building may be used for a home occupation.
In Madison County, a shop isn’t a storefront. A home business can’t run out of an accessory building, so plan the building around storage and personal use. We confirm your zoning district and run the ASCE 7 hazard tool against your address before drawings are produced.
We also serve the area around Canton, Flora and the Ross Barnett Reservoir. See Clinton or all of Mississippi.
