Questions about permit thresholds.
What is the permit threshold in my area?
120 sq ft is the most common. Some jurisdictions use 100, 60, or other thresholds. Some also restrict height, color, and setback for accessory structures. Confirm with your local building department.
Does HOA approval still apply?
HOA approval is independent of building permit. Even under-permit-threshold sheds often need HOA approval. Check your HOA bylaws before ordering.
Setback requirements?
Most jurisdictions require setback from property lines even for under-permit sheds. Typically 3-5 ft from side and rear property lines. Check local code.
About DuraMax Sheds Under 120 sq ft
120 square feet is the most common permit threshold for residential accessory structures in the US. Most jurisdictions allow sheds, garden buildings, and storage structures under this footprint without requiring a building permit, plan review, or inspection cycle. Above 120 sq ft, most jurisdictions require permits, plan submittal, setback compliance review, and inspection at various construction milestones.
The practical impact is significant. Permit applications add 2-12 weeks to the install timeline depending on jurisdiction. Application fees typically run $100-500. Plan review may require revisions. Required inspections add scheduling complexity. Under-120 sq ft sheds skip all of this - order, ship, and install without the permit cycle.
DuraMax under-120 sq ft options span the full range from compact tool sheds (5x3, 5x5) up to almost-120 sq ft larger sheds (10x12, 11x10). For most residential storage applications, you can get the capacity you need within the under-120 sq ft threshold.
Always confirm with your local building department before ordering. 120 sq ft is the most common threshold but some jurisdictions use lower thresholds (100 sq ft, 60 sq ft) or have additional restrictions (height, setback, color, HOA approval). We can hold shipping while you verify.
