it is ridiculous to have to get a permit for a diy shed such as this one. Is it true?

NO, you do not need a permit for any structure that is movable or temporary (no matter how hard to move). As far as I know this applies most anywhere in US
Reply:It depends on your city or township's ordinances. Most will require a building permit if you're putting the shed on a cement slab. It doesn't matter where you bought the shed. You could have bought it from Home Depot, Menard's or the guy who builds shed kits down the road. If you're going to permanently install it on a slab, you may need a permit (and it may raise your property taxes).

Check with a local lumberyard that sells shed kits. They'll know if you'll need a building permit or not.
Reply:I think you should call your local council or shire...

It might also depend on the flooring....I think if you are going to put concrete underneath you do

It almost would go under the same regulations as a cubby house or a garden shed.. or aviary... its not very big is it?

I would tend to say no permit would probably be necessary.. but its better to err on the side of caution and call your council
Reply:Most places in the USA you do not need a permit for a temporary building like a shed. The exception is when you put it on a permanent foundation. This makes it a permanent structure and may be considered in tax appraisal. Also if you run permanent utilities, running water or hard wired electric as opposed to an extension cord. These require permits.

I live in NY and I am able to put a 10' x 15' building on my recreation land. No permit is required but it can not be cemented in the ground. A building of this size is considered a portable shed.

I plan on using this building as a pavilion for entertaining. I will be installing a 8' overhead door that can be opened to allow easier traffic flow when we are camping there.
Reply:What difference as to where it was purchased? If the local ordinances require a permit, you'll need to get a permit or they can place a violation on your property.
