Shed permit rules in Irvington, NJ — also referred to as storage shed, backyard shed, or accessory building regulations — set size limits, setbacks, and when a building permit is required.
Sheds and accessory structures in Irvington require building permits under NJ UCC (N.J.A.C. 5:23). Zoning setbacks apply per local zoning code.
Irvington building code may exempt small accessory structures under 100 to 200 square feet from building permits per NJ UCC, provided they are single-story and not for habitation. However, a zoning permit may still be required. Structures over the exemption threshold require building permits. All sheds must comply with zoning setbacks (typically 3 to 5 feet from property lines). Electrical connections require permits. NJ’s smaller lots make setback compliance a common issue.
Unpermitted structure: retroactive permit with penalty. Setback violation: modification or removal. Habitation: immediate correction.
