Legal shed sizes in Huntington Township (Brookhaven, Hope: taxes, floor, assessment)

[wingswille]

Does anyone know what the max legal shed size I can built without a permit? And how far from the property line? I believe it is 120 sq ft building and 2 ft from property line. Am I correct, anyone???

I believe it is 10 X 10 (100 sq. ft.) and needs to be 3 feet from property line.

In the Town of Huntington:

--gross floor area cannot exceed 100 sqft
--max height 10 ft from grade

--interior lot: not within required front-yard set-back
..... min. 2ft from side and rear yard property line

Hope this helps

Was told recently that Brookhaven raised the allowable size on a shed to 150 sq ft...........any truth in this

[SIZE=2][SIZE=2]A. For a shed under than 200 square feet (e.g. 10' x 20'), a two-foot side or rear yard setback is required in all residential zones. If the shed is 200 square feet or larger, in the R-5, R-7 and R-10 zones the setbacks are still 2 feet. In the R-15, R-20 R-40 and R-80 zones, a shed 200 square feet or larger must be at least 10 feet for a side or rear lot line.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
