Building a Shed

You need a building permit to build a shed if the proposed shed, new or replaced, is:

• more than 161 square feet
• more than one storey
• attached to another structure
• used for any purpose other than storage
• has plumbing

We've prepared a guide as a starting point to assist with the permit application process. This checklist outlines the required drawings and documents needed to kickstart your project, along with some helpful hints. These are the minimum requirements for your shed permit application.

Once you've gathered the required items, submit your application through Pronto.
