In California, by law, up to 10x10 there are no code requirements. 
Planning folks can stick their nose in if they're going to be above the 
fence line or otherwise visible, I think, but there's no building code 
requirements.

I've got a 10x20 storage building on a slab, the slab was the biggest $ 
in the project.  The building dept wasn't a problem (he asked if I 
wouldn't rather put up 2 10x10 buildings with a walkway between them, 
but the cost of forming two slabs, finishing two roofs, extra walls, 
etc. was going to be more than the permit).

Planning was, as always, a bit of a pain, but it's done now.
