Shed permit rules in Huntington, NY — also referred to as storage shed, backyard shed, or accessory building regulations — set size limits, setbacks, and when a building permit is required.
Huntington requires building permits for sheds larger than 100 square feet. Sheds must meet setback requirements from property lines (typically 5 ft side/rear in residential zones).
Under Chapter 198 (Zoning) and the NYS Uniform Building Code as adopted by Huntington, sheds and accessory structures up to 100 sq ft in residential zones generally do not require a building permit but must comply with zoning setbacks. Sheds over 100 sq ft require a building permit from the Department of Engineering Services. Typical setbacks: 5 feet from side and rear property lines, not in front yard. Sheds cannot exceed accessory structure height limit (typically 15 feet). Electrical or plumbing connections require additional permits.
Unpermitted sheds may require removal or retroactive permit with fines; structures violating setbacks must be relocated.
