What people build in Jackson Township
On bigger lots, the size cap here grows with the land: 3,000 sq ft or 3% of the lot, whichever is greater.
Detached garages
Garages go in the side or rear yard. Anything over 120 sq ft sits 10 feet from the side and rear lines and 15 feet from other buildings.
Small sheds
One shed of 32 sq ft or less and no more than 10 feet tall needs no permit. Buildings up to 120 sq ft sit 5 feet from the side and rear lines.
Shops on acreage
Over 1 acre, the cap is 3,000 sq ft or 3% of the lot, whichever is greater. On 5 acres, that works out to about 6,500 sq ft.
Porches & lean-tos
Roofed porches, patios and decks count toward the building’s square footage. Swimming pools don’t.
We work in tubular steel, cold-formed steel, steel truss and red iron. See what a steel building costs.

In Jackson Township, a covered porch counts. A roofed lean-to or porch on a shop adds to its square footage, so we size the enclosed space and the overhang together against the cap.
Height is measured to the midpoint between the eave and the ridge on gable, hip and gambrel roofs. Accessory buildings can’t be used as living quarters. See all of Ohio.
