Tool Shed Permit? - Sean - 04-12-2009
Hi all,
Just curious, is there a size limit for sheds that if you stay below a certain square footage you won't need a permit? For example, there were some counties in California that you could build a 10'x14' structure with no permit required. Any thoughts?
I'm planning on pouring concrete for the posts, so it's a little bit more permnanent than buying a prefab shed. As always there are the setback requirements that would be followed.
Mahalo,
Sean

that is true on maui but our county i believe is not the sq footage but the height. anything over 6 feet high needs a permit. period. if you are signed off on your house and have great neighbors then i wouldnt bother if it is really just a small shed.

From the UBC Sec. 106.2.1 Work Exempt from Permit:
One-story detached accessory buildings used as tool and storage sheds, playhouses and similar uses, provided the projected roof area does not exceed 120 square feet.
