Shed Installation Permits in Pompano Beach

Local Rule

City of Pompano Beach Building Services Division; City of Pompano Beach Storage Shed Submittal Checklist

Pompano Beach generally requires a building permit for accessory structures that exceed 100 square feet, per the city's own Storage Shed submittal checklist, which requires a survey or site plan showing the shed's location and dimensions, and a completed Broward County Uniform Permit Application if electric will be installed. An Owner/Builder Statement Affidavit is required for applicants using the Florida Statute 489.103 contractor exemption. Accessory structures like sheds and detached garages typically require a minimum 5-foot setback from rear and side property lines.

How This Compares to Broward County

Pompano Beach's own rule is shown above (No permit under 100 sqft). 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.
