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. If it's less than that, it doesn't.
Do you need a permit? A detached garage or similar building (shed, pergola, gazebo, greenhouse, arbour, workshop, playhouse or detached carport) is considered an accessory residential building in the Land Use Bylaw, and will require a building safety approval (building permit) if: It is greater than 10 m2 (107 sq. ft.)
Typically, planning consent is not necessary for a shed or outbuilding, if its proposed floor area is below 15 square metres, it does not include sleeping accommodations, and the whole structure does not exceed a height of 2.5 metres (if it is located within 2 metres of the property boundary).
Per the Florida Building Code, sheds 200 square feet or less and used exclusively for storage purposes are exempt from permitting requirements.
