Honestly? It's usually simpler than it looks
Before you hand this off to anyone, we'd encourage you to just call or stop by the Sadsbury Township township office. The folks there handle shed and garage permits all the time — they'll give you the forms and walk you through filling them out. For a standard shed, most townships only need three things from you:
A certificate of insurance. Just ask and we'll email you a copy. It's easier to get than most people expect — see what one looks like.
A drawing / spec sheet of your building. We'll email you a copy of this too.
- Do it yourself for free using our plot plan template. One heads-up: the template doesn't include measurements, and most townships need those to calculate impervious coverage — you can usually get that figure from the township, your builder, or an online real-estate listing for your property.
- Have us prepare a measured site plan for $150, emailed to you. Ours already has your property lines, all the measurements, and the impervious-coverage figures for your house and existing buildings — exactly what the township needs. All you do is mark where the new structure will go and note the distance to the rear and side property lines, then send it back to us. Larger or custom structures can run a bit more, but a standard shed is right at that price. See real examples.
That's typically the whole list for a standard shed. Give it a shot yourself first — a lot of folks are pleasantly surprised at how quick it is. And if you get stuck or would just rather not deal with it, we're glad to help (see below).
