Permitting metal buildings in Southaven
The city’s Building Department permits inside Southaven, and the size of your house sets how much accessory building you can add.
Size
- Accessory buildings can’t exceed 50% of the heated square footage of the house.
- They can’t occupy more than 30% of the rear yard.
Placement
- Keep the building at least 10 feet from the house.
- Keep it at least 5 feet from side and rear lot lines.
Beyond the minimum
- These are minimum standards, and the chief building official can require more.
- The city doesn’t enforce HOA covenants, so getting your HOA’s approval is up to you.
In Southaven, the house sets the size. A 2,000 sq ft heated home allows up to 1,000 sq ft of accessory buildings, as long as they fit within 30% of the rear yard. We size the building from your home’s heated square footage first.
We also serve Hernando, Walls and the rest of DeSoto County. See all of Mississippi.
