I am planning to buy a metal garage shed online in the USA and want to make sure I handle everything correctly. One question that keeps coming up is: do you need a permit for installing a metal shed in your backyard or on your property? I’ve seen some local regulations vary by city, so understanding this beforehand seems important.

While looking at options like Duramax Sheds and other popular brands, I am trying to figure out the legal side of things. Does anyone have experience navigating city or county rules for shed installation? How strict are inspections, and what happens if you install a shed without checking first?

Another question: do you need a permit for sheds of different sizes, or is it only required for larger structures? I want to avoid potential fines and ensure the shed meets local building codes.

Finally, do you need a permit if the shed is placed on concrete versus directly on the ground? Any insights on this would help guide the decision and avoid mistakes.

Hearing from people who have recently purchased and installed metal garage sheds online would be extremely helpful. Which brands or websites would you recommend, and what steps should be taken regarding permits before buying and installing a shed?
