Permitting metal buildings in Hendersonville
Hendersonville keeps accessory buildings out of required front yards and corner side yards.
Placement
- Not in any required front yard.
- On corner lots, not in the required front or side yard.
R-40 setbacks
- Accessory buildings: front 40 feet, side 10 feet, rear 10 feet.
- Lots are at least 40,000 sq ft and 125 feet wide.
Other districts
- Smaller-lot districts set their own accessory setbacks.
- Accessory buildings meet the district setbacks in all cases.
In Hendersonville, setbacks are the only limit. On an estate lot, a large shop fits as long as it stays 10 feet from the side and rear lines and under 35 feet.
In smaller-lot residential districts, we confirm the district’s setbacks before ordering. See all of North Carolina.
