The Building Permit Ordinance PDF linked from the county site was not directly accessible to confirm a specific exemption threshold. Georgia's statewide 2024 IRC baseline exempts one-story detached accessory structures ≤200 sq ft absent a stricter local amendment — not confirmed for Toombs County specifically. Needs direct retrieval of the ordinance PDF or county contact.
