Placement & size
- Rear yard only, up to 17½ feet to the peak.
- No more than 30% of the rear yard’s area, and 5 feet from other buildings.
Permits
- Every shed and accessory structure needs a permit and a final inspection.
- Electrical, mechanical and plumbing work needs separate permits.

- In flood zones, non-elevated buildings need flood openings and an elevation certificate.
In Panama City Beach, the rear yard sets the size. Thirty percent of the rear yard is the cap, so a deeper lot allows a bigger building. We’ll measure your rear yard before sizing.
