Before you receive a shed, you may need a permit from your local governing authorities.
Here is a list of helpful considerations. This is not an exhaustive list, but it may help you get the process started. You will need to know what size and type of shed you are wanting to get.

1. Check your Covenants, Conditions, & Restrictions (CC&Rs) and Homeowners Association (HOA) requirements
   Before you get your permit, find out if your local community has any restrictions. If you are part of a subdivision, your property may be subject to (CC&Rs) that have rules about what can or cannot be put on your land. If you are part of a (HOA) there may be restrictions of style, color, and roof type on permissible structures.
2. Check local governing authority regulations
   Ask your local planning department (may also be called zoning, land use and development, building and planning, etc.) about the general building rules that apply to your property. You may be able to find these regulations online, but it may be faster to just call the planning department. Have your address, the size and type of your structure, and the location where you want to place the structure ready before you call.
   Here are some helpful questions to ask.
   • Is my property in your jurisdiction?
   • How far does the structure need to be from the front, back, and sides of the property?
   • How far away does the structure need to be from the house?
   • Can I put it in front of my house? (if applicable)
   • How far does the structure need to be from the well and septic tank? (if applicable)
   • Is there a size limit?
   • Are there any style and color restrictions?
   • What permits (and inspections) are required for structure delivery and install?
   • What department is responsible for issuing permits, and what is the phone number? (if different)
   • Is there an online application for my permit?
   • How long does it take to get a permit?
   • Are certified plans required for my permit?
   • What are the foundation requirements? (if any)
   • How much does the permit cost?
3. Coastal Sheds has state certified engineered plans for each style of shed. If you need a copy for your permit process, please give us a call!

If the structure is for a business, you may need to verify that the structure intended use is permitted.

1. Find a level spot
   • A shed delivery requires a flat location with good access for the delivery equipment and shed to reach the site.
2. Look overhead
   • Trim any trees and branches that extend into the delivery path and setup location for a shed. (2’ wider than the shed width, and approx. 14’ high)
   • Utility lines near the area, or in the delivery path can be a safety hazard for install. 
3. Mark the corners and double check your setbacks
   • Put four flags or sticks in the ground for the corners of the structure.
   • If it is near any property lines, outbuildings, the house, septic field, gas lines, etc.– make sure you have sufficient distance to meet setback codes, road and sidewalk right-of-way, and work space requirements for the install.
4. Check underground
   • Don’t forget to check underground! You cannot cross septic tanks or sprinkler lines with delivery trucks, equipment, and sheds as it may damage them.
   • If you have any easements on your property, you are not allowed to install a structure in that area.
   • Before any grading, excavation, or anchoring is done, be sure to call for underground utilities to be marked.

• If the purchase is a sale, the non-refundable deposit was made at the time of completing and signing the paperwork, and the balance is due the day of delivery/install.
• The payment transactions may be done by card, cash, or check and can be received by the sales representative (at time of order) and the delivery/install driver (at time of install).
• If the shed is under a rent-to-own contract, you will be receiving payment coupons and instructions by mail within a couple weeks of delivery.

Visit the Rent-to-Own page under the "Learn More" tab for details on how the rent-to-own program works.

Rent-to-Own or RTO is a rental contract that allows you to pay rent for 36, 48, or 60 months, and acquire ownership of the storage building at the end of the contract. However, like any other rental contract, you acquire no equity in the building until the contract is completed successfully. If you voluntarily return the building, or terminate the contract in any way, there are no refunds given.

There is no interest on a rental contract. You just pay your monthly rental payments until the contract is paid in full. If you exercise your early payoff option, at the time of payoff, on a 36 month contract, 60% of your monthly payments paid are applied toward the purchase of the building.

Since this is a true rental contract and not an installment sale, there is no principal to apply extra money to. Extra money received will be applied to future payments.

As long as your account is current, you have the option to purchase the building rather than continuing to rent it. This is a one-time, lump sum purchase of the building. You can call our office to inquire about the cash purchase amount.

No. The purchase option is a one-time, lump sum purchase of the building. If money is paid that is not the total purchase amount, it will be applied to future month's rent.

If the building is delivered on or before the 10th of the month, your first payment is due on the 1st of the following month. If delivery is after the 10th, your first payment will be due the 1st of the second month following. (Example: Delivery June 1-10 your first payment is due July 1st. Delivery June 11-30 your first payment is due Aug. 1st.)

All payments are due on the 1st. There is a grace period given until the 6th. The payment must be postmarked or paid electronically by the 6th of the month or a $15 late fee will be applied.

All accounts are due on the 1st of every month. You cannot change this due date, but you can move the date forward by paying ahead on the account.

The contract on the building cannot be re-written or the monthly payment amount lowered. Call our office to ask about possible alternatives.

We do NOT accept postdated checks.

This is a true rental contract. Therefore, you are not entitled to a refund if you return the building.

Please notify our office, preferably in writing, that you are finished with the building so we can arrange for pickup.

Per the rental contract, no changes are allowed to be made to the building nor may it be attached to other structures. If you would like to make changes to the building, you must call our office for permission.

Please call our office and get permission prior to having the building moved.
