This also depends on the size of your construction and the local legislation. In most areas across the country, you won’t require a building permit for a small shed that doesn’t exceed 6x8 feet or 8x10 feet. However, larger storage buildings will challenge the zoning restrictions, so you need to know the rules and regulations for your area.
Garage-sized sheds like 16x24 feet or 16x20 feet may require a building permit, depending on where you live.
Keep in mind that it is the homeowner’s responsibility to obtain the building permit prior to the installation, as most of these establishments are built from scratch by homeowners on their own. Even when you ask for professional help from a contractor, you will still need to handle legal matters by yourself.
Therefore, we strongly suggest you read your county’s laws and obtain the permit if you want to build a large shed to store all your gardening, grilling, and outdoor tools.
