Can I add an accessory building in Lebanon TN?
Yes, subject to your district's lot development table: most residential districts cap an accessory dwelling unit at 700 sf (one ADU per parcel) and set separate front, side, and rear setbacks for accessory buildings; size caps for other accessory buildings vary by district. Check your district table and confirm permits with Planning staff.
