Accessory Structure Design Guides 

Construction of most accessory structures and fences will require a building or fence permit, whether this is for fences, garages, shed, pools, or decks. Please view the Applications and Forms page for more details. All applications for accessory structures should include a plat of survey, as well as a site plan with detailed drawings of the structure, its placement, and its proportions. 

The City's Zoning Code may have regulations on the size, materials, or placement of accessory structures within each property. The below zoning Code sections describe these regulations, however if you are unsure, please call Community Development at 847-506-6030 or email at CD@CityRM.org.
