You do not, in fact, count those buildings towards your houses square footage. Doing so would open yourself up to all sorts of liability.

You don’t count garage spaces as square footage of a house either, so what is your point? If he’s comparing garage space footage to overall living quarter footage, then you should also include pole sheds into that equation.

All that aside, you’re slapping a 25’x52’ shed onto your 1/4 acre property? That’s almost 20% of your land use not including lot encroachment setback, drainage, and basic driveway/building infrastructure. It’s your property so definitely do as you wish, but to think this is a common practice or a desirable thing outside of niche hobbyists or being used for work related activities/storage is nonsense. Neighborhood flooding, no natural green spaces for habitats, it all sounds like a horrible dystopia on your mini-compound.

No, not adding a shed, extending my garage/shop. Feel free to take a look at my YouTube videos to see how nice my garage/shop is setup now. How nice my fenced in backyard looks. And how nicely my 1400 sq foot house all sit on this property. Then you can stop talking about things that you have no idea about, thanks buddy!
