GLOSSARY

Detached Garage

A detached garage is a vehicle shelter that stands apart from the house rather than sharing a wall with it. In the records we hold the term covers the structure, its slab or footing and the driveway or apron that reaches it.

About Detached Garage

Drawings show the footprint and its distance from the house, the foundation, the wall and roof framing, the vehicle door openings and any electrical service. Scope is driven by the size of the structure and by whether it carries storage or living space above. Detached garages are recorded with garage, driveway and concrete headings on the same lot.
