In California, by law, up to 10x10 there are no code requirements.
Planning folks can stick their nose in if they're going to be above the
fence line or otherwise visible, I think, but there's no building code
requirements.
I've got a 10x20 storage building on a slab, the slab was the biggest $
in the project. The building dept wasn't a problem (he asked if I
wouldn't rather put up 2 10x10 buildings with a walkway between them,
but the cost of forming two slabs, finishing two roofs, extra walls,
etc. was going to be more than the permit).
Planning was, as always, a bit of a pain, but it's done now.
John.
