What people build in Liberty Township
A township where the pool, the shed and the garage all draw from the same square-footage allowance.
Detached garages
Accessory buildings sit behind the rear of the house, at least 6 feet from it and 10 feet from every property line.
Shops
On lots under 5 acres, the height limit is 16 feet, measured to the midpoint of a pitched roof. On 5 acres or more, a building can’t be taller than the house.
Pole barns on acreage
The total allowance grows with the lot. Recent township cases cite 2,000 sq ft on 5 acres and 3,500 sq ft on 11.7 acres.
Pools & sheds
Pools count toward the same total, and a lot can hold three accessory structures in all.
We work in tubular steel, cold-formed steel, steel truss and red iron. See what a steel building costs.
