Built in Itasca. Delivered to your driveway in Austin.
We build your building at our shop in Itasca, deliver it down I-35, and set it level on your property, ready to use.
Before you pick a size, read the permit section below. Inside Austin city limits a small shed can skip the building permit, but out in unincorporated Travis County the county asks for one even for a shed.
Can't get a truck into the backyard? For tight lots we can build the same building on site instead.

Dallas was the salesman for our cabin. He couldn’t have made the buying process and designing process any easier. . I changed my mind several times and he just made the adjustments without any question. We recieved our cabin exactly when he said we would get it. And the quality is amazing. It looks like site build tiny home. We love it.

Fabian was a big reason I chose Eagle Ridge Barn Builders. He was very helpful, he sent me renderings of my Building and was patient while I made my decision. The onsite fabrication crew was very professional. Did a fantastic job and took the time to address any questions I had. I couldn't be any more satisfied.
Valeria was so helpful through this process. We drove to their facility while doing research. We also visited other builders and chose Eagle Ridge because of the clean manufacturing process. The materials used were top quality. This greenhouse will last for the rest of my life and beyond. The delivery and setup were amazing. The young man, Yoder Manoah, who delivered my greenhouse set it between two trees just where wanted it. I can't wait to start using it. Thanks Valarie and Eagle Ridge Barn Builders.

After looking for storage builders for 6 months, I finally found Eagle Ridge Barn Builders. Speaking to Fabian on the phone was very helpful every step on the way, about great pricing, quality and professionalism. All of the men that came to service and build my shed was incredibly quick, supportive and precise on building the shed. I would recommend Eagle Ridge Barn to everyone that would need a shed.

Fabian was absolutely wonderful to work with for our custom build. The building is beautifully built. He was extremely patient with us constantly changing the plans what felt like every two weeks. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone and everyone I can.

Enoc and his team did an amazing job installing our shed. They showed up at 7 am and didn't stop working until it was finished at about 1 pm. They were very efficient and meticulous about the installation. We were very impressed with the final product.

Local Info
Permits & rules in Travis County.
Do you need a permit for a shed in Austin?
Inside Austin city limits, a small shed usually doesn't need a building permit. The City exempts a one-story detached accessory structure that's no more than 200 square feet and no more than 15 feet tall, as long as it isn't a dwelling, has no plumbing, and isn't in a flood hazard area.
In practice, a storage building up to 200 sq ft (a 10x20, or a 12x16 at 192 sq ft) can usually go in without a building permit. Bigger buildings, anything with plumbing, and anything taller than 15 feet need one. We can tell you which side of that line your building falls on before you order.
Exempt doesn't mean anything goes
The City is clear that permit-exempt work still has to follow its other codes, including zoning. Setbacks and placement depend on your zoning district and lot, so confirm where the building can sit before delivery day. Moving a building afterward is expensive.
Floodplain lots
The exemption doesn't apply in a flood hazard area. If your lot is near a creek or you're not sure, check its floodplain status before you order.
Outside city limits: Travis County
Unincorporated Travis County works differently from many Texas counties: it asks for an Accessory Building Permit for non-habitable buildings like sheds. The application includes a site plan showing existing and proposed improvements and easements, and floodplain sites also need elevation information.
Nearby cities have their own rules
Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Buda, Kyle and the other cities around Austin each set their own rules, and several are in Williamson or Hays County. If your address isn't inside Austin city limits, check with your own city or county.
This is based on our own research and years of delivering buildings in the Austin area. Codes change, and requirements vary by neighborhood, zoning district, and property — and your HOA may have its own rules on top of the city's. Always confirm with the city and your HOA before you buy.
We Can Help
Permit pull assistance
Permits are the part most people dread, so we have someone who does them for a living. For a flat $450, our permit assistant handles as much of the process as anyone but you can handle — pulling the building specs, finding out what your city actually wants, filling out the application, submitting it, and staying on the phone with the city until it is approved.
What we do
- Contact the city and find out exactly what they require for your building at your address
- Assemble the building specs, dimensions, and construction details from our side
- Complete and submit the permit application
- Handle the back-and-forth with the city through review, including any revisions they ask for
- Keep you posted along the way instead of leaving you to chase it
What it doesn't cover
- The city's own permit fees — those are paid directly to them and vary by city
- Documents only you can provide: property survey, deed, plat, site plan, HOA approval
- The $450 is non-refundable, since it pays for the assistant’s time whether or not the city approves
- If it becomes clear a permit isn't realistically obtainable, we'll talk it through with you rather than keep burning hours
$450 — our fee only, separate from the city's permit fees.
Some cities require stamped engineered drawings for a building of this type. That is sometimes possible to obtain, but it is a separate cost that can run into the thousands and it is the customer’s expense. We never go down that road without talking to you and getting your agreement first.

Questions
Austin shed FAQ.
Do I need a permit for a shed in Austin, TX?
Not for a small one. Inside city limits, Austin exempts one-story detached accessory structures up to 200 sq ft and 15 feet tall that have no plumbing, aren't a dwelling, and aren't in a flood hazard area. Larger or taller buildings need a building permit.
What size shed can I put up in Austin without a permit?
Up to 200 square feet: a 10x20 is right at the limit and a 12x16 (192 sq ft) fits under it. A 12x20 (240 sq ft) is over and needs a permit. Height counts too: no taller than 15 feet.
Does a permit-exempt shed still have to follow setback rules?
Yes. The City says exempt work still has to meet its other codes, including zoning. Setbacks depend on your zoning district and lot, so confirm placement before delivery.
Do I need a permit for a shed outside Austin city limits?
In unincorporated Travis County, usually yes. The county asks for an Accessory Building Permit for non-habitable buildings like sheds, with a site plan showing existing and proposed improvements and easements.
I live in Round Rock, Cedar Park or another nearby city. Do Austin's rules apply?
No. Each city sets its own rules, and several Austin-area cities are in Williamson or Hays County. Check with the city or county your address is in.
What if my lot is in a floodplain?
Then Austin's permit exemption doesn't apply, and in unincorporated Travis County floodplain sites need elevation information with the permit. Check your lot's floodplain status before ordering.
Do you handle the permit for me?
We offer paid permit pull assistance, where our permit assistant does as much of the process as anyone but you can do. The permit is still issued to the property owner, and some documents can only come from you.
How long does delivery to Austin take?
Plan on 2–3 weeks from order, and up to 4–5 during busy periods. The build sets the timeline more than the drive.
