Shed Installation Permits in Pembroke Pines
Local Rule
City of Pembroke Pines Building Department; Pembroke Pines Code of Ordinances Chapter 150 (Florida Building Code adopted by reference); Chapter 155, Section 155.620 (Accessory Buildings and Structures)
A building permit is required for most types of construction and improvement work in Pembroke Pines, even for projects such as installing a fence, per the city's own Building Department page, consistent with the Broward County-area pattern of requiring permits for nearly all accessory structures including sheds. Sheds, private detached garages, storage containers, and accessory dwelling units are all classified and regulated as accessory buildings and structures under Code Section 155.620, which governs their location, height, and appearance. The city has adopted the Florida Building Code by reference and explicitly rejects Broward County's own regulations in favor of its own.

How This Compares to Broward County
Pembroke Pines's own rule is shown above (Permit required). Here is the separate rule that applies at the county level, for context:
Broward County Building Code Services Division
Most of Broward is incorporated, and the roughly 30 municipalities run their own building departments; the county's Building Code Services Division only permits directly in unincorporated areas and contract cities. A specific size exemption for sheds could not be confirmed from a Broward County primary source. Confirm which jurisdiction governs the address and check directly with that building department.
