| Permit Threshold Sqft |
Not found — Jenkins County does not appear to publish a dedicated accessory-structure permit page online. Georgia's state minimum code baseline (IRC) generally exempts one-story detached sheds/playhouses up to 120 sq ft, but whether Jenkins County has adopted/enforces that as-is is unconfirmed. Needs direct county contact.
