| Permit Threshold Sqft |
Not explicitly published on the county's Planning & Codes page. A 200 sq ft threshold is common across several nearby GA counties (confirmed directly for Wayne and Burke) — but that has NOT been confirmed as unincorporated Ware County's own adopted rule. Confirm directly with Ware County Planning & Codes (912-490-4379).

| Setback Feet Side Rear |
Not found with specific numbers. The county's zoning ordinance exists as a PDF but its accessory-structure setback table could not be extracted as text in this pass. Needs a manual review of the primary PDF or direct confirmation with Planning & Codes.

| Wind Load Zone |
Southeast Georgia coastal plain (Waycross area, ~55-65 miles from the Atlantic) — roughly 115-130 mph (ASCE 7, Exposure C). NOT a verified figure; exact design wind speed depends on the ASCE 7/IBC edition adopted and must be confirmed with a GA-licensed engineer or the county building official.
