Shed permit rules in Kissimmee, FL — also referred to as storage shed, backyard shed, or accessory building regulations — set size limits, setbacks, and when a building permit is required.
Sheds are accessory structures governed by LDC §14-6-1. Florida Building Code exempts one-story detached accessory structures under 200 sq ft from the building permit requirement, but Kissimmee zoning rules on setback (typically 5 ft side/rear) and lot coverage still apply.
Florida Building Code §105.2 exempts detached accessory structures up to 200 sq ft from building permits, but a zoning review is still required to confirm setbacks, lot coverage, and accessory-structure placement under §14-6-1. Sheds over 200 sq ft require a full building permit. Sheds in a special flood hazard area require flood elevation review under LDC §14-9-1 even if otherwise permit-exempt. §14-6-1 typically requires accessory structures to be in the rear yard, with 5-foot side and rear setbacks for single-family lots. Sheds cannot be used as habitable space (no kitchens, no bathrooms with plumbing) — that converts them to ADUs subject to §14-6-2.
Construction without zoning review: Sec. 1-22(b)(12) — $250. Construction without building permit (over 200 sq ft): Sec. 1-22(b)(2) — $100. Habitable use of a shed violates §14-6-2 ADU standards.
