Permits: check early

Rules vary by city and county. In Edmond, for example, a detached garage, barn or storage building over 200 square feet needs a building permit [4], and a detached structure needs a foundation designed by a design professional such as an Oklahoma licensed engineer [5]. Check with your city, county and HOA before you order, and we can talk through what to ask.
