She Sheds in Virginia — A Space That's Actually Yours
Every room in the house belongs to the family. This one belongs to you.
Why Virginia Women Are Building She Sheds
A dedicated creative space, reading room, or craft studio that’s separate from family chaos. Climate-controlled, beautifully finished, and entirely yours.

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.
