FAQ

What do I need to do to my property before the garage arrives?

First, decide exactly where the garage will go and check the permit and setback requirements with Brantley County Planning & Building Department. Then follow the site requirements for the garage you've selected. Any grading, concrete or other preparation should be based on the final building specifications. Don't prepare the site using rough dimensions if the building hasn't been finalized.

The current rule requires a permit once the garage exceeds Not found — the county publishes a permit fee structure for accessory structures ($0.25/sq ft or $75 minimum, whichever is greater) but no explicit sqft exemption threshold was located, implying a permit may be required regardless of size.

Can I use a metal garage just for storage?

Yes. Cars don't have to be part of the equation at all. A metal garage can give you enclosed space for tools, lawn equipment, recreational gear and other belongings. If storage is the main purpose, think about shelving and aisle space while planning the building so everything remains accessible once the garage starts filling up.

Can I use my metal garage as a workshop too?

Definitely! Just plan for the workshop before deciding on the garage size. A workbench, toolboxes, shelving and equipment can eat up a lot of floor space, especially when you're also parking a vehicle inside. Make sure to give yourself enough room to work comfortably instead of trying to fit a workshop into whatever space happens to be left over.

Are metal garages a good choice for Georgia?

Metal buildings are utilized throughout Georgia for garages, equipment storage and other residential, agricultural and commercial uses. The important thing is choosing a building appropriate for the project and location. If you're building in Lulaton, make sure the garage specifications and site plan also meet the local requirements that apply to the property.

How much extra room should I allow around my vehicles?

Don't measure a car and make the garage barely wider than the vehicle. You need enough room to open the doors, get in and out, walk around it and reach anything stored nearby. With two vehicles, remember the space between them too. Adding a little breathing room during planning can make a big difference once you use the garage every day.

Can I put a metal garage beside my house?

Brantley County Planning & Building Department has requirements that can affect garage placement, including a current setback of Per the Brantley County Land Use Ordinance (adopted 9/8/2016), accessory buildings/uses on non-residential lots must comply with the same front/side/rear yard requirements as the principal Land Use district in which they sit; specific footage figures by district were not retrieved from available excerpts..
