Pembroke Pines, FL Accessory Structures: Shed & Carport Rules (2026)

620(C)(1) sets the baseline: 'a residential lot may have one of each of the following accessory buildings and structures,' listing a shed alongside a private detached garage, a free-standing open-sided structure and an accessory dwelling unit, so a homeowner can't stack a second shed on the same lot without separately qualifying it as a different structure type. 620 lays out the shed's numbers: the front setback tracks the primary building line, the side setback is 5 feet, the street-side setback on a corner lot is 15 feet, and the rear setback is 5 feet.

Maximum height is capped at the height of the primary building or 24 feet, whichever is less, and the footprint is capped at 200 square feet, a limit that grows only for sheds in the Agricultural or R-E Rural Estate districts, and even there, a shed over 200 square feet has to meet the same setbacks as the primary house rather than the smaller accessory setbacks. The table's additional-regulations column adds one more condition: a shed cannot be prefabricated. 620(C)(2) folds sheds with solid roofs into the zoning district's lot coverage standard, so a shed's footprint counts against the same lot coverage cap that applies to the house and every other roofed accessory structure on the property, on top of meeting its own setback and size limits.
