Is a greenhouse something that you would need to acquire a permit to build?
I can't find a answer in plain english.
Dirt floor. No water or electric...yet
Thanks in advance.

It depends...
And it really does. In my area I can build a free standing greenhouse and not need a permit. If I anchor it to the side of my home I do need a permit.

You will likely need a permit/approval from the zoning board.
Depends how big it will be, where you want to put it, if you are in the city, suburbs, or a rural area, if it will be attached to an existing building or freestanding, etc. Building codes are different everywhere. Check your local laws about "accessory structures".

It depends on your municipality and their bylaws as far as I know. Here for instance it depends on the size. The one I'm building (same as you) is slightly over and I was supposed to get permits but I said fuck it and started anyways

lol Just build it, the worst that can happen is a fine, but that most likely wont happen. nobody is going to have a problem with a greenhouse... and on your own property.
in my area, if the structure doesn't have a foundation, you don't need a permit.. and you don't need a permit for anything you're not caught building .. go for it!
