Garages, sheds, and accessory structures in San Marcos, TX

What the San Marcos zoning ordinance says about garages, sheds, and accessory structures, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.

All districts

Accessory buildings and structures (kiosks, food trucks, sheds, and accessory dwelling units) take their setback, parking, and height standards from the Chapter 4 district pages and building type standards. No accessory structure may be located closer than 10 feet to any other building on the same lot (Sec. 5.1.3.1). Accessory uses such as outdoor storage, outdoor display, and drive-thrus carry their own standards in Sec. 5.1.3.2; an unlisted accessory use requires a Responsible Official determination. Legacy districts use the accessory building regulations in Sec. 9.3.2.1. Confirm the current code text, any overlay or historic district, and any planned development or regulating plan conditions with the San Marcos Planning Division before relying on this cell.
