Outdoor structures in Lone Jack, MO
Big shops for Lone Jack acreage, built by the crew down the road.
Workshops, custom buildings, detached garages, and sheds built on site in Lone Jack and the acreage around it, inside the city limits or under Jackson County rules outside them.
Lone Jack is the rural east edge of Jackson County: acreage tracts, new construction in subdivisions like Stonecreek and Bedford Downs, and open country with no neighboring tree line to break the wind. The buildings people want here are bigger than in the suburbs: a shop for the equipment, a garage for the trucks, a barn-style building with a lean-to.
Inside the city limits, Lone Jack's building code exempts one-story sheds up to 120 square feet and permits everything larger through its Building and Inspections Division. Outside the limits, Jackson County rules apply and storage buildings under 200 square feet are exempt. We build under both and know which one your address falls under before the quote.

Questions from Lone Jack homeowners
Do I need a permit for a shed in Lone Jack?
Inside the city, a one-story shed of 120 square feet or less needs no permit; anything larger is permitted through the Building and Inspections Division. Outside the city limits, Jackson County exempts storage buildings under 200 square feet. We check which rules apply to your address and file whatever is needed.
How big a shop can you build on acreage?
As big as the site and the budget allow. Our standard shop models start with 10-foot sidewalls and a roll-up door, and custom builds go taller and wider, with lean-tos and finished corners. Tell us what has to fit inside and we size the doors to it.
My lot is in the county, not the city. Does that matter?
It changes which permit desk we go to. Unincorporated Jackson County has its own building permit packet and its own ADU ordinance. We confirm your jurisdiction from the address before the site visit.
How soon can you get to Lone Jack?
About 20 minutes from our Lee's Summit shop, straight out 50 Highway. Configure a model for a ballpark price and request a site visit from the cart.
