An outbuilding is a separate structure located on the same property as a main building, typically used for storage, utilities, or as a workshop. Outbuildings can include structures such as sheds, barns, garages, or detached guest houses. They are distinct from the main dwelling but are considered part of the overall property. Outbuildings serve various purposes depending on the needs of the property owner and are often subject to zoning regulations and building codes.
