Shed setback

[marcm]

Hello,

I was browsing through my 2013 CRC and looking at section 302.1 exemption 3, which states sheds do not require any setback from the property line, however, in my jurisdiction there is a minimum of 5 feet for sheds. IYO, is this just my jurisdiction being more restrictive in this case?

The book is the base.

Some ahj's can add or delete. Appears yours has added.

Usually setbacks are determined by your zoning ordinance that could vary from block to block or opposite sides of a road.

Welcome!

Planning & Zoning determine setbacks, the codes are concerned with fire separation distance.

Agree, Zoning determines setbacks.

The ICC prints an IZC and its on line which might be helpful to some of u's

Also the (2012 IRC) exempts sheds if under 200sf, but you did say your on the 2013 CRC. Look for an exception under "Work exempt from permit".

 

[SCBO1]

I was curious and looked up the CRC 2013, section 105, sheds under 120sf are exempt from permits unless your goberment did an amendment.

But, even if exempt from code requirements, P & Z requirements still apply most of the times.

Much Appreciated feedback gentlemen.

Hey CDA, I was wondering why you said welcome but then I noticed I have one post and my join date is last month...Must be because i had to re-join or whatever i did after my mac crashed. Oh well, Back to newbie status I guess..
