Frequently asked questions

What size shed can I build without a permit in Florida?

Many Florida jurisdictions exempt sheds under 100-200 square feet from a building permit, but zoning setbacks and hurricane tie-down requirements still apply, and some coastal jurisdictions permit every accessory structure regardless of size.
