Provo Utah Shed, Accessory Building, and Solar Permit Guide

Provo sheds, accessory buildings, and solar projects use project-specific checklists, with site plans, structural details, utility coordination, and solar PV documents depending on scope.

Permit takeaway

Provo lists residential shed permits as requiring a building permit, site plan, structural plans, and stormwater documentation, while larger accessory buildings can require stamped structural plans, calculations, floor plans, elevations, and trade information.

Zoning and placement

Provo directs homeowners to Planning to check accessory-building setback and height requirements before submitting or building.

Building and trade review

Provo's project requirements include accessory building information, shed construction guidance, solar PV system checklist, net metering acknowledgment, and residential site plan information.
