Shed permit rules in Sedona, AZ — also referred to as storage shed, backyard shed, or accessory building regulations — set size limits, setbacks, and when a building permit is required.
Sedona Land Development Code §3.4.C and §3.4.D govern sheds, detached garages, and other accessory structures. They must meet the principal building's setbacks, lot coverage, and height limits within the underlying zone.
Detached accessory structures must be located on the same lot as the principal building and serve a use incidental to the primary residential use. Setback compliance is required regardless of structure size; small sheds may avoid the building-permit threshold but still need to respect setbacks. The exterior design should be consistent with the principal structure's character — though the Council loosened the strict 'architecturally compatible' requirement in 2024 for ADUs and similar accessory uses.
Land Development Code enforcement. Misplaced sheds must be relocated or removed.
