What You Need to Know

  • ●Setbacks still apply: Even if your shed is under 200 sq ft and doesn't need a permit, setback requirements still apply. Check the city's accessory shed rules for your zone.
  • ●Easements: You cannot build on a recorded easement (utility, drainage, etc.) regardless of whether you need a permit or not.
  • ●Outside city limits? Parts of the Arlington area are unincorporated Snohomish County with different rules — up to 400 sq ft in rural areas. If you're outside city limits, check the Snohomish County page.
  • ●Utilities: Even if the structure itself is exempt, any electrical or plumbing work requires a separate trade permit.
