ha, that sounds like my plan. Wish me luck, gonna build an out building that will double as my office.
I am guessing this works because a non profit is involved that is not subject to property taxes... which are insane in Detroit.
Good luck.
Consider “Post & Beam” construction if you aren’t doing cement block. Cheap, easy to erect, and strong as heck, especially if you use screws and urethane glue as I did.
Built my three storage sheds, my ‘loafing shed, and my workshop that way too, and have been very pleased with them.
Ran my tractor (front end loader bucket) into one of the sheds at about 5mph and it just bounced off, although I did punch an easily patched hole through the siding.
