Spanish Fork requires building permits for sheds and detached accessory structures. Structures under 200 square feet on single-family lots may qualify for a simplified permit or zoning compliance review rather than a full building permit. All accessory structures must comply with setback requirements from property lines — typically 3–5 feet from rear and side property lines in residential zones. Structures cannot be placed in front yard setbacks. Sheds must be constructed to meet minimum structural standards for snow loads (Utah County experiences significant snowfall). Electrical connections to sheds require electrical permits.
Unpermitted structure: retroactive permit with penalty. Non-compliant setback: modification or removal.
