In the past, then you could build as big as you afford. Although, now cities are restricting the size of the garage size to about 50% footprint of the house, or restricting types of materials for the garage. So, you need to look at cities codes on what they let you build. Most of these cities list the codes on their websites for garages or some call them accesory structure.
