Shed Permit Requirements in Weatherford, TX
Based on City of Weatherford published sources. Confirm with the permits office before you build.
Do you need a permit?
Check with the city. Weatherford issues permits for residential accessory buildings such as sheds. The city's published pages we found don't state a size below which a shed is exempt, so call the permits office to confirm for your shed.
What to know
- Residential accessory buildings are charged $100 plus $0.30 per square foot.
- Adding electricity or plumbing requires separate trade permits ($75 each).
- Shed placement and setbacks come from the zoning ordinance (Title XII).
Typical documents
- Site plan with the shed location, existing structures and distances to property lines
- Shed size and construction details (or manufacturer spec sheet if prefabricated)
