City of Vaughan Shed Questions: Asking before building due to nasty neighbor
I have pretty nasty kind of neighbor that calls bylaw officer for everything.
I have not had any problem personally but I was warned before moving to the area.
Anyway, I rather be safe then sorry.
Shed is from Costco and size is 9 X 7 model with 7.4 feet in height (higest point)
Shed will be put on pavers which is same height as rest of the area.
I searched Shed bylaw for city of vaughan and found this

- The permitted area of a shed depends on the frontage of the lot.
- The shed must be located in the rear yard and set back from the property line 0.6 metres (about two feet).
- The height of the shed must not exceed 2.5 metres (about eight feet), which includes the height of the pad it is constructed on. If there is more than one shed on the property, contact Building Standards.
My questions are
- Do I need permit before building the shed?
- Requirement for shed in Toronto was 1 ft from property line. Looks like it's 2ft but I see almost all houses build their shed less than 1 ft from line (I can see around 6 houses who build like this.
- Anything else I should be worried about or do before building?
Thank you.
