FAQ
How big can my shed be without requiring a building permit? The biggest your shed can be without a permit would be 12x12 (in the state of North Carolina.)
The following projects do not require a permit: Asphalt or gravel driveways. Awnings (wall mounted only) Exterior work under $15000 - Non Structural Only. Interior work under $15000 - Non Structural Only. Non-residential farm buildings. Non-structural slab (no footers for future building construction)
The quick and simple answer is: you usually don't need a permit if the shed is 120 square feet or less. In California, most jurisdictions have adopted the 120 square foot rule. If your shed area is larger than 120 square feet, it needs a building permit.
In North Carolina, it is generally required to obtain a permit before building a shed on your property.
No matter what the property type is, you will need to be approved for zoning, which takes us to the big topic, permits. There is no way around this. Your building must be permitted for use as a tiny home (or any shed conversion like a shed-to-office building).
