Am I allowed to have accessory buildings on my property?

Accessory uses and structures are incidental or subordinate to the principal use of the property. In residential zones these can be garages or sheds, decks or satellite dishes. Any structure over 120 square feet requires a building permit and it must meet building height and setback requirements. For commercial and industrial properties, please email the Planning Department to discuss any accessory use or structure.
