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.

We're buying out in the country. No HOAs or anything like that. I'm fairly certain that the sky's the limit out there. But i'm planning on something pretty simple. That garage journal website is awesome. I got a lot of great ideas from there.
