Shed Installation Permits in Deltona

Local Rule

City of Deltona Building Division

Deltona's own shed handout addresses the zoning limits for accessory sheds: up to 2 sheds are permitted on a residential lot 20,000 square feet or less, provided the sheds do not exceed 240 square feet combined, separate from other accessory structures. 120 square feet, the Florida Building Code baseline for one-story detached accessory structures, is used as a placeholder, though local zoning, wind-load, and setback requirements apply regardless of building-permit status. No accessory structure, including sheds, may be located in a platted easement. On lots of 2.45 acres or more, accessory structures may be located in the front or side street yard with a minimum 100-foot setback from those yards and 75 feet from any interior side lot line. Confirm the exact no-permit threshold with the Building Division before relying on it.

How This Compares to Volusia County

Deltona's own rule is shown above (No permit under 120 sqft). Here is the separate rule that applies at the county level, for context:

Volusia County Code Ch. 72 (Ord. 2025-13, eff. June 5, 2025)

Volusia eliminated the building permit requirement for residential sheds of 480 sq ft or less, one of the most generous allowances in Florida. Sheds this size still must meet zoning, setback, and flood-hazard rules. Most residential fences are also exempt now, except when the fence serves as a required swimming-pool safety barrier.
