What people build in La Vernia
Town lots and the ranch and farm ground of Wilson County.
Shops & garages
Unfinished and under sixty feet wide, tubular steel is usually the answer, insulated or not.
Ranch buildings
Hay barns and equipment storage on the land around town. Red iron takes over past eighty feet.
Barndominiums
Steel truss is the fit. Drywall attaches to the frame, so there’s no second wall to build.
Boat & RV storage
Settle the door before the footprint. Every two feet of eave above twelve adds roughly five percent to the frame.

Permitting metal buildings in La Vernia
Inside La Vernia
- Every accessory building needs a permit and plan review, with a fee due on the permit.
- The city’s plan review is handled by an outside firm, Bureau Veritas.
Placement & timing
- No accessory building can go up before work on the house has started, or sit in front of the house.
- A certificate of occupancy is needed before any building is used.
What to submit
- A residential permit application and two site plans, showing the building’s location and its distance to the house, other structures and lot lines.
- Roof details, unless the building is a prefabricated storage building.
In La Vernia, the house comes first. A shop or barn can’t go up on a lot until work on the house has started, and it has to sit behind the house. If you’re building both, we plan the shop’s timing around the home.
We also serve Floresville, Stockdale, Adkins and St. Hedwig. See the San Antonio metro or all of Texas.
