Many municipalities do not require a permit for designs of 200 square feet or less. In most all major cities a permit will be mandatory and is based on the local build code in any given area.
Some cities may require a shed use permit typically being $ 35.00 to 55.00 dollars. Other requirements may include the requirement of a set back to be meet code, normally this requirement is a 5 to 10 foot setback from the back property line. We recommend you contact your local building department and ask about permits regarding “accessory structures”.
