I love this. It's like someone asking, "How's the weather?"

It's raining.

It's sunny.

It's snowing.

It's windy.

It's calm.

Now comes the "NO, IT'S NOT. YOU'RE AN IDIOT!" replies.

What's legal and illegal about sheds is about as varied as the weather.
It's a good idea to check on it WHERE YOU LIVE.

Every town or county has its own code enforcement officer, and more than
likely, the codes between them are different..

The Florida building code is universal across the state. They have
different rules in different wind zones but it is still standardized
so you don't have to deal with the whims of AHJs in 67 counties and a
thousand towns. Local people can ad "zoning" rules but they can't
amend the building code.
Sheds and outbuildings are conered in the state building code. The
idea that it is just a free standing piece of furniture in the yard
doesn't "fly" because, in a hurricane, they tend to.

If I had a level spot I'd probably just set it on the ground for a few
years, then set it on leveled cinder blocks, maybe, if the S/N ratio
got too bad.

The nice thing about a shed of that size and construction is it's easy
to move.
