Shed Installation Permits in Round Rock

Local Rule

City of Round Rock Planning and Development Services, Building Inspection Division; Round Rock Code of Ordinances (Accessory Structure provisions)

Round Rock requires a permit for a shed under 200 square feet and 15 feet or less in height, per the city's own FAQ, because the structure is considered an Accessory Structure regardless of its size. The fee for a plastic or wooden shed without electrical or plumbing is $50. Applications must note separation in feet from the structure to the property lines, since encroachment into setbacks or easements is prohibited. Permit fees are non-refundable and non-transferable once payment is submitted.

How This Compares to Williamson County

Round Rock's own rule is shown above (Permit required). Here is the separate rule that applies at the county level, for context:

Williamson County Building Codes Department

In unincorporated Williamson County, any accessory building 120 sq ft or larger requires a building permit, a lower threshold than many surrounding Texas jurisdictions. Distinctively, the foundation type is an independent trigger: any structure of any size placed on a permanent foundation (poured concrete slab) requires a permit regardless of square footage, separate from the size-based rule.
