Outdoor Buildings Around Kalamazoo

We've delivered sheds, garages, barns, cabins, and more throughout Kalamazoo and across Kalamazoo County over the years, from mature neighborhoods near downtown and the colleges to the larger township lots out in Oshtemo, Texas Township, and Comstock.

Kalamazoo gets more lake-effect snow than areas farther east, and the river and creek corridors can make drainage and site elevation important. We will plan a base built for West Michigan winters.

Older Kalamazoo city neighborhoods are generally low on HOA rules, while newer suburban plats and condo communities are more likely to have restrictions, so check yours before you order.

Permits & Site Prep in the Kalamazoo Area

We have delivered and built for plenty of customers across the Kalamazoo area. Here is what we generally see for permits and site prep, just to point you in the right direction.

Permit needed over 120 sq ft

Building permits are required for accessory structures over 120 sq ft in area. The building-permit page also says structural work includes garages and sheds larger than 20 ft by 10 ft; use the stricter 120 sq ft secondary-building standard for accessory structures unless city staff confirms otherwise.

Kalamazoo permit guidelines

The permit details above come from the City of Kalamazoo. Some Kalamazoo mailing addresses actually fall under a neighboring township or village with its own rules, so confirm with the office that covers your exact property.

What the City of Kalamazoo requires

Setbacks
Secondary buildings may not be placed in the front yard and cannot be closer to a corner-side property line than the primary structure. Rear-yard secondary buildings may be within 3 ft of side or rear property lines. If a secondary building is placed in a side yard, the same setbacks that apply to the primary structure apply.
Height & coverage
Accessory structures may not be larger than the footprint of the primary structure, count toward impervious coverage maximums, must be built at the same time as or after the primary building, and may not exceed the height of the primary structure. Historic District properties have additional accessory-structure standards.

Foundations & site prep

We set most buildings on a level gravel pad, which is all the majority of sheds and garages need. Larger or permanent structures can call for a concrete slab or a rat wall, a perimeter footing that keeps rodents out and meets code for a permanent foundation. We will walk through what your size and site actually need.

This is just information we are aware of, not the final word. Requirements can be more or less depending on your exact parcel and municipality, so we always advise checking directly with your local office before you build. We are glad to help you figure it out.

Delivery to Kalamazoo

How delivery works here

Kalamazoo is about 105 miles from our Adrian location. In-stock buildings from that lot include free delivery within 40 miles. Custom builds usually include free delivery within 150 miles of the Homestead Barns shops in Topeka, Indiana and Colon, Michigan.

Build On-Site

When access is tight, the ground slopes too far, a fence is in the way, or your site just can't take a finished delivery, our crew builds your structure piece by piece right on your property. Same craftsmen, same materials.

  • For wooded, sloped, or hard-to-reach sites
  • Built piece by piece on your property
