Do you need a permit?
St. George requires a permit for a shed.
St. George City Code section 10-7-1(B)(5) contemplates a one-story accessory structure of not more than two hundred (200) square feet that does not require a building permit being placed in a side or rear yard. The code does not itself set out the building-permit threshold; confirm with the Building Department before relying on this.
