Why does nobody talk about a shed permit costing more than the shed?
I stopped by the permit office in Boise last week and found out a shed over 120 square feet needs a full permit, which runs around $350 here. Half the folks I know put up a 12x16 kit from a big box store and never filed a thing, and the other half say skipping it will bite you at resale when the county sees a roof that isn't on the record. I'm stuck between saving the cash and keeping things legal, so what's the move, pull the permit or wing it like my neighbor did with a 10x20?
