| Permit Threshold Sqft |
Not found — the county publishes a permit fee structure for accessory structures ($0.25/sq ft or $75 minimum, whichever is greater) but no explicit sqft exemption threshold was located, implying a permit may be required regardless of size. Needs direct confirmation (912-462-8743 / 912-462-5256).

| Setback Feet Side Rear |
Per the Brantley County Land Use Ordinance (adopted 9/8/2016), accessory buildings/uses on non-residential lots must comply with the same front/side/rear yard requirements as the principal Land Use district in which they sit; specific footage figures by district were not retrieved from available excerpts.

| Wind Load Zone |
Inland/near-coastal Georgia (Nahunta) — roughly 115-125 mph (ASCE 7, Exposure C); Brantley County sits just inland of the coastal GA counties (Camden/Glynn) so its mapped speed is likely somewhat lower than the ~130 mph coastal band but higher than deep-interior GA. NOT a verified figure; must be confirmed with a GA-licensed engineer or the county building official.
