Shed permit rules in Redding, CA — also referred to as storage shed, backyard shed, or accessory building regulations — set size limits, setbacks, and when a building permit is required.
Redding Municipal Code Section 18.43.020 regulates residential accessory structures. One-story sheds up to 120 sq ft are permit-exempt, and lots are limited to two detached structures totaling no more than 1,500 sq ft without a Site Development Permit.
Per RMC §18.43.020, residential accessory structures include garages, greenhouses, sheds, studios, workshops, and detached decks 18 inches or higher. One-story tool/storage sheds and playhouses up to 120 sq ft are permit-exempt under California Building Code §R105.2. The number of detached accessory structures is capped at two per lot, with cumulative floor area not exceeding 1,500 sq ft unless a Site Development Permit is approved. Structures needing a permit must meet CBC building-separation rules. The accessory structure front cannot extend closer to the street than the primary residence without a zoning exception.
Exceeding the two-structure or 1,500 sq ft cap without a Site Development Permit, placing a structure forward of the primary residence, or building over 120 sq ft without a permit is enforced by Redding Code Enforcement.
