Under Deltona Code of Ordinances § 110-827(c)(1)k, a residential lot of 20,000 square feet or less can hold up to two sheds, each capped at 240 square feet and 15 feet in height from average finished grade to ridgeline. A shed can never exceed the height of the primary dwelling it accompanies. Sheds are exempt from the district's general accessory-building height cap but still follow the citywide accessory-structure placement rules in § 110-827(c)(1)d and (e): no shed goes in the front yard ahead of the house, and none may sit inside a platted easement.
