Shed permit rules in Henderson, NV — also referred to as storage shed, backyard shed, or accessory building regulations — set size limits, setbacks, and when a building permit is required.
Henderson allows sheds under 120 square feet without a building permit if 1 story and no utilities. HMC Title 19 setbacks apply and HOAs typically require architectural approval.
Under HMC Title 15 and the Nevada-adopted International Residential Code, one-story detached accessory storage structures not exceeding 120 square feet in floor area are exempt from a building permit, provided they have no plumbing and no permanent electrical connections. Sheds still must comply with HMC Title 19 Zoning setbacks, generally 5 feet from side and rear property lines in standard R-1 zones, and cannot be placed in front yards or drainage easements. Total accessory structure lot coverage is capped by zoning district. Sheds over 120 square feet, or those with electrical or plumbing hookups, require a full building permit with engineered anchoring for Henderson's high wind conditions. HOA communities such as Anthem, Sun City Anthem, Green Valley Ranch, Seven Hills, Inspirada, and Cadence almost universally require architectural review committee approval for sheds, including specifications for color, material, height, and visibility from the street. Resin, wood, and metal sheds may be treated differently under CC and Rs.
Placing a shed in violation of setbacks or without HOA approval can result in code enforcement fines, removal orders, and HOA assessments.
