Decision — first matching row wins
| # | When | Permit | Type | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | bona_fide_ag is yes | conditional | Nonresidential farm building — FBC exemption possible (FS 604.50), but county still reviews | Fla. Stat. §604.50 exempts nonresidential farm buildings, farm fences and farm signs on bona fide farms from the Florida Building Code — BUT the county still requires a zoning verification / exemption determination, and electrical wiring, LP gas and any public-access use are NOT exempt. Collier issues a zoning-verification-letter exemption path; confirm before assuming no permit. |
| 2 | otherwise | yes | Building — Agricultural / Accessory Structure | If it isn't a bona fide farm building (habitation, retail, public access) it is permitted like any structure and must meet wind load. |
