Outdoor structures in Overland Park, KS
Pool houses, backyard offices, and garages built to Overland Park standards.
Site-built pool houses, backyard offices, detached garages, sheds, and ADUs for Overland Park homeowners, with Johnson County permits handled by a crew that works both sides of the state line.
Overland Park is the largest city in Johnson County and one of the most consistent places we work. The established neighborhoods north of College Boulevard have mature trees and mid-size lots that suit a backyard office or a well-finished shed. South toward 175th Street the lots get bigger, the homes get bigger, and the requests turn to pool houses and detached garages that have to match a two-story stucco-and-stone house.
Kansas permitting is different from Missouri permitting, and Overland Park adds its own layer of design and HOA review in many subdivisions. We build in both states every month, so those differences are routine for us rather than a surprise for you.

Permits in Overland Park
Overland Park Planning and Development Services reviews accessory structures, and many subdivisions add HOA review on top. What the city publishes:
We prepare the drawings, file the application, and schedule the inspections. You sign, we do the rest.
| No permit needed | Accessory structures such as garages, sheds, carports, or gazebos that do not exceed 200 square feet. |
|---|---|
| Permit required | Detached accessory structures over 200 square feet. |
| ADUs | Allowed on qualifying residential lots, attached or detached, one per lot. The size limit depends on the zoning district; some districts cap the unit at 50 percent of the house. Owner occupancy is required. We confirm your parcel's district before design. |
| HOA covenants | City approval does not override HOA rules on outbuildings, materials, or colors. Bring your covenants to the site visit. |

Questions from Overland Park homeowners
Do I need a permit for a shed in Overland Park?
Not for an accessory structure of 200 square feet or less. Larger sheds, garages, and pool houses need a building permit from the city. We prepare and submit the application.
Does Overland Park allow ADUs?
Yes, on qualifying lots. Attached and detached units are both permitted, one per lot, with owner occupancy required. The maximum size depends on your zoning district, so the first thing we do is check your parcel with the city before anyone draws a plan.
You are based in Missouri. Do you build in Kansas?
Yes, every month. Our shop is in Lee's Summit, about 30 to 40 minutes from Overland Park. We handle Kansas permits and Johnson County requirements as a normal part of the job.
Will my HOA approve a backyard building?
Most Overland Park HOAs have rules about outbuildings, siding, and colors, and the city does not enforce them. We ask for your covenants at the site visit and design the structure to pass review the first time.
