Sheds and certain other structures are subject to specific restrictions through zoning and building regulations and by the Columbine Knolls South Planned Development Restrictions (ODP) for Columbine Knolls South.  Jefferson County normally requires a building permit before any type of structure can be built on a residential lot. Garages, storage and tool sheds, greenhouses, gazebos and some playground equipment are examples of structures that may require a building permit. The property owner must complete a permit application and provide a site and structural plan showing all dimensions of the proposed structure. The permit fee varies depending on the size of the structure.

Other regulations apply to mini-structures, which the county defines as "a detached accessory building used as a tool or storage shed, playhouse or similar use ...".  Click here for mini-structure requirements.  Typically, mini-structures do not require a building permit, but they do require that a Miscellaneous Permit Application be submitted and they normally must meet setback requirements.  Since regulations can change, it is recommended to contact the Jefferson County Planning and Zoning Department.

All structures must be in architectural compliance with the Protective Covenants.  This means that the design of the structure and the quality of materials and workmanship must be in harmony with existing structures in the community.  The covenants require that the structure be approved by the Architectural Control Committee.   

Homeowners with additional questions should contact the Jefferson County Planning and Zoning Department.  They will be happy to answer any questions that you may have regarding the permit and application process, as well as the current county regulations.
