You see them at Lowe's Home Depot local hardware store and along the roadways. New storage builidings.

In your town in the Lakes Region. What if any are the building codes for these storage structures? No foundation. Just placed on blocks on ground.

Yes, there is a local official that can asked. Looking for opinions or examples of those who have actually put one up on property. Did you obtain a building permit? Do you need a building permit in your town? Do all setbacks apply in your town. Anyone have any issues with such placement of storage sheds. Standard size such as 8 x 10 or 8 x 12 etc.

I had a 12x16 delivered and assembled at a clients home in Moultonborough several years ago and there was no permit required as it was not a permanent structure.
This was a modular type shed, it arrived as assembled panels on a truck complete with gas powered air compressor and construction crew. We had a compacted gravel base ready for them, the crew set and leveled the base and then put the panels together and roofed it.
Somewhere around 2003 I purchased and assembled a 24x26 "Cover It" type 2 car garage at my own house and there was no permit required as it again, was not a permanent structure.

I built a 14' x 30' shed in Sanbornton and got a permit, I believe most towns require a permit as they want the tax money and permit fee.Mine is on blocks and is 10' off the property line. They have no inspections in Sanbornton so I never saw anyone.

Most towns require a permit for anything above 100 square feet and they have to be 10' from any property line, pre-built included and if there is a code enforcer (another fancy word for building inspector) it has to be inspected when completed.:)

Just a general question. If there is no inspections, then who issues the permit????:)

Some word of mouth states that if this is a non-attached "temporary" structure nothing applies. Some state that if such is "temporary" then setbacks do not apply. Anyone else wish to chime in?

Check with your town if there's ever an issue the town can make you move it which can be a PITA...In my town (Mass) anything larger than 120 sq ft must either go on a foundation or sonor (sp) tubes. Most towns even in NH are probably pretty close for rules.

Anyone else wish to chime in?I have heard different towns allowing temporary structures but they must be on wheels. Doesn't seem worth it to me. If you are having a setback issue you can always go for a variance.
