That depends on where you are living. As of 2014, the Virginia state building code does not require a building permit for a single-story storage building that is 256 square feet or less in size. However, that does not mean you don’t need to get a zoning permit or HOA approval on storage buildings that are 256 square feet or less.
As part of our Site Evaluation, we can answer specific questions about zoning or HOA approvals that might be needed for your property.
