permit is generally required for two reason

1) to make sure it is designed to wind code. You might not care if it blows down, but your neighbors might when it lands in their yard

2) new electrical service (meter)

Out in the boonies, it might not be an issue especially if you feed it from an existing service. Otherwise, in incorporated areas, you need a permit to construct an occupied space

I’m in a “subdivision” with 3 acre plats and farm land making up about 200 acres behind my piece of property. This shop is the first thing going on the property as I live in a subdivision down the road from this new property. Don’t have electricity yet even on the 3 acres. Trying to get some storage area now and at the end of the year I’ll put in a sewer, electricity, and water. Ended up paying for the site specifics.

All for the benefit of a shitter in my shop once we finally build a home out there
