He is building what he claims is a 10 x 10

A permit is NOT required if less than 10 x 10. It also must be less than 10 feet high, it must not encroach the property lines, it must not have electricity or plumbing, AND it must be built to minimum standards with hurricane anchors. He is allowed to have 2 sheds if both are below 100 sq ft. each. Check your insurance, if his shed damages your house during a hurricane- it is NOT his problem. Thanks, Chet- Wally Watt Inc.

100 sq ft is max without permit.

Sounds like he is within his rights. I would close this topic.

I was told if you requires hammer and nails it requires a Permit. The 100sq ft is for a prefab or out of box is what the girl at front desk claimed. She said it is misunderstood by many.

See: List of Exempted Permits, Construction Services & Permitting Div, Planning and Economic Development Dept, City of St.Petersburg. Exemption #2, also 10 x 10 applies. #1 is for prefab or out of box; tell her to go read a little bit more.
Basically, if it is not encroaching, not dilapiated, structurally sound, AND meets the size requirement; no permit is needed.

Why do my comments need approval? I made an honest, factual contribution.

Allow a city employee to visit the property
Thanks for everyone's opinion.

Oh, that's what you want. You want to be told 'what he is doing is fine', even though everyone here AND the homeowner have said it is OK. I even gave the specific document to refer to, but...
