If I tell the city im going to attach it to the house, what will they ask for? drawings? etc? can they refuse it?

Also I dont get why I need extra heater, you guys probably know better than me but if the tank water is always 80degrees and its constantly going through the sump, etc and the shed is sealed, why would I need to add a external heater? If anything wouldnt I want to have more internal heaters?

They could refuse it , it depends for evry city if you call them just tell them your inquiring ...not in the process of building.you will need to have drawings made by an draftsman/engineer if only they ask for it. Reason being is they don't want people digging adding their own electrcal or interfering with neighbors etc. Best to find out it's completely free to call I build house dcks and renos for a living and I've built small sheds wthout permits but I've also done o es where permits are required especially if your onthe city. I'm not sure about the heater that was referenced but I imagine you would want your shed to be heated for a million reasons like comfort to work in, less work on the heaters in your tank, keeping condensation from freezing.... Nothing to do with the structure as alot of people have non heated garages . It's actually alot simpler than were all making it out to be but it's good to know all the possible problems before building. First step find a general contractor who can get permits and do all the work including the slab ask around for more quotes and most will give free estimates, then make a budget and plan in writing for the contractor to follow. Once you contact the city or the contractor does you'll know all the building requirments that you need to meet. And don't forget to check with your insurance company on what they will require to keep insuring you
