Shed With HOA Florida

This is the question that stops more shed projects than any other. Someone wants a shed, calls us, and then says: “I have an HOA. I don’t know if they’ll allow it.”

Here’s the honest answer: in most HOA communities in Central Florida, sheds are allowed – with conditions. The conditions vary, but they rarely make it impossible.

What Florida Law Says About HOAs and Sheds

Florida Statute §720.3045 gives homeowners some protection around backyard structures, but it does NOT extend blanket protection to sheds. Sheds are governed by each HOA’s own CC&Rs (covenants, conditions, and restrictions). Your HOA’s specific rules are what matter.

What HOAs Typically Require

Gable & Lean-To Style:

Based on building in dozens of HOA communities across Central Florida, here is what review boards most commonly ask for:

Material and color matching – The shed must match or complement the home’s exterior. This is why we offer any Sherwin-Williams color – we can match your house exactly.

Size limits – Many HOAs cap sheds at 100–200 sq ft. Some allow larger with architectural review board approval.

Placement – Usually rear yard only, behind the fence line, not visible from the street.

Setbacks – Minimum distance from property lines, typically 5–10 feet.

ARC request – Most HOAs require a formal Application for Architectural Review with drawings and specifications before you build.

What We Provide for HOA Submissions

We provide complete construction drawings showing dimensions, materials, colors, and placement – everything an architectural review board needs. We’ve helped customers get HOA approval in communities across Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Brevard, and Polk counties.

What If My HOA Says No?

We build with or without HOA approval – that is your decision as the property owner. We give you the full picture and respect whatever you decide.

The One Thing We Always Say

Call us before you call your HOA. We’ll help you understand exactly what questions to ask, what documentation to request, and how to navigate the approval process. It always goes smoother that way.

What Our Customers Say
