Shed Permit Requirements in North Chili, NY

North Chili (ZIP 14514) is a hamlet within the Town of Chili in Monroe County; it is not a separate municipality, so the Authority Having Jurisdiction is the Town of Chili Building Department, which enforces the NYS Uniform Code for new construction, alterations, decks, pools, and signs. Permit applications are processed through the CloudPermit online portal. The Building Department is physically located at Chili Town Hall in Rochester 14624 but serves the whole town including the 14514 hamlet. Specific deck/fence/shed/roof numeric thresholds and a published fee schedule were not found on the official department page; standard NYS Uniform Code (2018 IRC) thresholds are applied here.

When you don’t need a Shed permit

Exempt·Rule 1

North Chili (ZIP 14514) is a hamlet within the Town of Chili, so the Authority Having Jurisdiction is the Town of Chili Building Department, which enforces the New York State Uniform Code (residential provisions based on the 2018 IRC with New York amendments). A detached accessory building such as a shed of 200 square feet or less generally does not require a building permit under the Uniform Code (based on the 2018 IRC), but Town of Chili zoning setbacks still apply and a larger shed requires a permit. Confirm the local size threshold with the Building Department, since the department page does not publish a numeric limit.
