Shed permit rules in Converse, TX — also referred to as storage shed, backyard shed, or accessory building regulations — set size limits, setbacks, and when a building permit is required.
Sheds under 200 square feet and under 8 to 10 feet tall typically need no building permit in Converse but must meet setback and HOA rules. Larger sheds require permits and inspections.
Under the 2021 International Residential Code adopted by Converse, detached accessory storage structures 200 square feet or less with floor area intended for storage only are exempt from building permit requirements. Even exempt sheds must still comply with zoning setbacks, usually at least 3 to 5 feet from side and rear property lines and not placed in front yards or drainage easements. They also must comply with utility easements and any HOA architectural review. Sheds over 200 square feet require a building permit, foundation and anchoring inspection, and may need a site plan showing drainage. Any shed with electricity or plumbing needs the applicable trade permits regardless of size. Do not place sheds inside drainage easements or over utility lines. Check with Converse Building at (210) 658-5356 and your HOA before installing.
