Outdoor structures in Raymore, MO
ADUs up to 1,000 square feet in Missouri's fastest-growing city.
Accessory dwelling units, detached garages, sheds, and backyard offices built on site in Raymore, where the code allows an ADU up to 60 percent of the house.
Raymore was the fastest-growing city in Missouri in 2022 and 2023, and most of that growth is in master-planned communities like Creekmoor, Eagle Glen, and Brookside: large newer homes, generous lots, HOAs with design standards, and families with parents or adult kids who need a place of their own. That is why Raymore is one of our strongest ADU markets.
Raymore's code allows one accessory dwelling unit per lot at up to 60 percent of the house, capped at 1,000 square feet, and it keeps accessory buildings behind the house, off the easements, and no larger or taller than the home. We design to those rules and to your HOA's guidelines before anything is quoted.

Questions from Raymore homeowners
Can I build an ADU in Raymore?
Yes. Raymore allows one accessory dwelling unit per lot, limited to 60 percent of the total square footage of the house and never more than 1,000 square feet. It follows the same placement rules as other accessory buildings: behind the house, off easements, not taller than the home.
Do I need a permit for a shed in Raymore?
Raymore permits accessory structures through Development Services. The city did not publish a square-foot exemption on the pages we checked, so we confirm the current threshold for your specific building before we build. Either way we handle the paperwork.
Will my Creekmoor or Eagle Glen HOA approve it?
Raymore's master-planned communities have design standards for outbuildings, materials, and colors, and the city does not enforce them. We ask for your HOA guidelines at the site visit and design the structure to pass review the first time.
How soon can you get to Raymore?
About 20 minutes from our Lee's Summit shop. Configure a model for a ballpark price and request a site visit from the cart.
