Detached Garages in Virginia — Built for Your Vehicle
Your car deserves a roof. Your tools deserve a home. Your garage shouldn’t be a storage unit.
Why Virginia Homeowners Are Building Detached Garages
Protect your vehicles from Virginia weather. Dedicated garage space frees your attached garage for actual parking. Heavy-duty construction for lifts and equipment.
Garage Configurations
Vehicle-Grade Construction
Wide overhead doors, reinforced concrete-slab-ready floor framing, and 10+ foot peak height for trucks and SUVs.
Heavy-Duty Floor Options
Floorless garage option for concrete slab. Wood floor option for elevated garages. Both rated for vehicle weight.
Security Features
Steel entry doors, reinforced lock sets, and optional alarm system pre-wiring. Protect your investment.
10x16
160 sq ft
A 160 sq ft single-bay garage for a mower, ATV, or motorcycle with tool storage. Shell from $4,200.
12x20
240 sq ft
Most popular at 240 sq ft — fits a compact car or multiple ATVs with workbench and wall storage. Shell from $6,000.
14x24
336 sq ft
A 336 sq ft garage with room for a full-size vehicle, workbench area, and organized storage. Shell from $8,500.
14x28+
392+ sq ft
Full 392 sq ft garage — vehicle plus workshop area, tool storage, and overhead loft. Turnkey from $35,000.
Pro tip: Order your garage 2 feet wider than you think you need. That extra space means you can actually open car doors fully and still have room for wall-mounted storage.
Richmond Permits & Codes
Virginia exempts one-story detached structures under 256 square feet from building permits — that’s why the 12×20 is the most popular shed in the state.
Important: “Permit-exempt” doesn’t mean “regulation-free.”
- ✓ Zoning permit — Required in virtually every Virginia jurisdiction regardless of size
- ✓ Electrical permit — Mandatory if you run any wiring to the structure
- ✓ Setback rules — Distance from property lines varies by locality
Structures under 256 square feet are exempt from building permits, but a zoning permit is still required. Setbacks are typically 3–5 feet on the side and rear in urban districts, though this varies widely. For specifics on your lot, reach out to City of Richmond Dept. of Planning & Development Review ((804) 410-5052).
Urban lots are often narrow, and historic district overlay zones add restrictions. Many areas are R-6 or R-48 zoned.
