hooksetter Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I am looking to put up a storage shed (10x12) in my back yard this summer. I would like to put it in the back corner. What are rules for easements / distance from the property line, etc? Does it make a difference if it has a concrete floor or wood floor?Thanks!

croixflats Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I would call your local building inspector or city hall for ordinances as each city differs on placement. As for concrete pad or wood floor. A concrete floor makes it as a fixed out building and in some areas your property tax may go up but with a wood floor it would not be considered a fixed structure and therefore tax wont go up.

hooksetter Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Thanks. I went to the Savage web site and found exactly what I needed. In my case a 5 foot set back from the side property line and 10 feet from the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom7227 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 You may want to talk to your neighbors just to make sure none of them get anxious about it. A few phone calls could keep noses from getting out of joint and creating problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstroke Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Also check for rules on size requirements. In Eden Prairie we are limited to the square footage the pad can be. In order to get the storage wanted we built a 12ft ceiling on one side so I could hang things up high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IFallsRon Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 My local regs are 18 inches from the property line for any detached structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
