I want to build a small storage shed on my property. How large can it be, and do I need a building permit?

For any single-family (RS) zoned lot, a detached accessory building 200 square feet or less will not need a building permit. However, detached accessory structures of any size must meet the following setbacks:

Front yard: Setback for applicable zone; see PMC 20.20.020
Rear yard: 5'
Interior side yard: 5'
Street side yard: Setback for applicable zone; see PMC 20.20.020
Distance from other structures: 5'

Please email Planning@puyallupwa.gov for more information.
