Some of Bartlett's subdivisions have private covenants that pertain to sheds. Sheds can be placed on a gravel or wood deck floor. The corners need to be secured by post-hole method, two feet below grade. At no time shall an accessory building encroach in any rear or side easement. No building or structure shall be erected, constructed, built, enlarged, replaced, repaired, altered, or moved, nor shall any repair or maintenance work be done which affects the structural, fire protection, or health protection qualities of a building without first having obtained a building permit.
Building permits expire one year from the date of the permit.
However, if work has not started within six months of the date of the permit, the building permit is void. The cost of the permit is determined by the cost of the project. For accessory structures placed on a slab, a pre-pour inspection is required 24 hours in advance. A final inspection is required for all accessory buildings, and if applicable, an electrical inspection is also required. The Building Inspector shall inspect all buildings and structures that are being erected, constructed, built, enlarged, repaired, altered, replaced, or moved.
