Shed permit rules in Pomona, CA — also referred to as storage shed, backyard shed, or accessory building regulations — set size limits, setbacks, and when a building permit is required.
The Pomona Zoning and Development Code regulates accessory structures including sheds. Structures under 120 square feet may be exempt from building permits but must comply with setback and placement requirements.
Under the Pomona Zoning and Development Code (effective July 2024), accessory structures such as sheds, workshops, and storage buildings must comply with setback, height, and lot coverage requirements. Structures 120 square feet or less and single-story may be exempt from building permits but must still meet minimum setbacks (typically 3-5 feet from property lines). Larger structures require building permits and plan check. Accessory structures may not be used for habitation. Maximum height is generally limited to one story or 15 feet. Structures must be on the same lot as the primary dwelling.
Unpermitted structures are subject to code enforcement. The city actively cites illegal garage conversions and unpermitted ADUs. Violations may result in demolition orders, fines, and liens.
