What the Town of Huntington requires

• Huntington requires a building permit for any second shed. Its April 2026 shed article lets one shed of up to 144 square feet skip the permit, within height and setback limits, yet requires one for any shed over 100 square feet.
• Huntington allows no accessory structure, including a shed, within the required or existing front yard or long street side yard setback, whichever is greater.

The Town of Huntington Building and Housing Division handles permits ((631) 351-2821). Our Town of Huntington permit guide covers how to apply, inspections and certificates.
