Lehi, UT Accessory Structures: Shed & Carport Rules (2026)

050 governs where a shed or other accessory building can sit. Accessory structures are prohibited outright in any required front yard and cannot be located within utility easements; all required setbacks are measured to include any eave, overhang, or projection, and no accessory building may sit closer than 12 feet to a dwelling on an adjacent lot. 050(F) and (G). 060 caps total accessory building coverage at 30 percent of the lot's rear yard as identified in the applicable zone's bulk table. 070 limits accessory buildings to one story unless the lot exceeds 22,000 square feet or the structure holds an approved ADU, and sets maximum heights of 24 or 35 feet depending on the zone, but never taller than the primary structure.

In the Commercial, Technology and Manufacturing, Business Park, Light Industrial, Historical/Industrial and Industrial districts, accessory buildings may be built to the side or rear lot line if they meet International Building Code and Fire Code standards and avoid utility easements.
