What people build in Genoa Township
On smaller lots here, setback buys height: every extra foot back from the line adds a foot to the limit.
Shops on smaller lots
On 2 acres or less, the limit is 22 feet, plus 1 foot for each foot of setback beyond the minimum, up to 35 feet.
Tall shops
A building that meets all of the house’s setbacks for its district can reach 35 feet, and on lots over 2 acres, 35 feet is the limit outright.
Small sheds
Up to two buildings of 200 sq ft or less and 12 feet or less need no zoning permit.
Breezeways
A building connected to the house by a roofed breezeway follows the house’s setbacks, and no more than four buildings can be connected that way.
We work in tubular steel, cold-formed steel, steel truss and red iron. See what a steel building costs.
Permitting metal buildings in Genoa Township
Genoa Township keeps accessory buildings out of the front yard setback and limits how many a lot can hold.

- 2 acres or less: 22 feet, rising 1 foot per extra foot of setback, capped at 35 feet.
- Meets the house’s setbacks: up to 35 feet.
- Over 2 acres: 35 feet.
Setbacks & count
- 10 feet from the side and rear lot lines, unless the house’s setback is smaller.
- One accessory building, plus one for each full acre, up to five.
- Accessory buildings also count toward lot coverage limits.
Living space
- An accessory dwelling is allowed only where it’s approved as a conditional use.
- Where allowed, it needs a lot of 1 acre or more, one per lot, and no more floor area than the house.
In Genoa Township, setback buys height. On a lot of 2 acres or less, moving the building 5 feet farther from the line adds 5 feet to the height limit. We’ll find the placement that gets you the eave you need.
Small buildings exempt from permits still can’t be used for anything the district prohibits. See all of Ohio.
