Wow, those are some pretty garage pics. I didn't know garages cost that much. I'm facing having to paint a house, do a kitchen and bath, so never even thought past that yet.
As far as permitting, my mom needed a permit for a potting shed, which I guess is just a small shed to do plant stuff in? No clue. Anyway, she had trouble getting the permit (and there is no homeowner's association, this is just in the city) so she had to get an attorney. The attorney cost so much she had no money to build the shed, but she did finally get the permit.

You need a permit to install a hot water heater in my hometown. The cost is $65.

I have a real estate developer/car collector buddy that spend about half a mil last year to build a 9,000 sf garage to house his collection. The floor is stamped and stained concrete that looks like wood. The exterior is stone. Quite a spread. As far as the cars, a Bentley GT convertible, an '09 AM Vantage, but mostly vintage Hemi muscle. He just sold a rare GTO on ebay for well over a hundred grand...

were are you
socratic were do you live in the great white north?
in canada the concrete will run a little more than the $1000 for a typical 20x24. you can get a garage package from windsor plywood, totem lumber, home depot, rona and any of the lumber yards in your area, they will also get you a quote to set it up. and im sure you can get for less than 21000....
we have erected the package in 1 day, with main door in, shingles on day 2.

Doesn't anyone pour a footer below the frost line and build a proper foundation for a garage anymore?

If there's a permit, then it will be done per code. Code is below frost line. So I assume so. The thing to do - when you have the money available, is to get quotes from 3-4 sources. Pre-fab will be cheapest generally and go up quickest. There should be a "steel" building company selling kits as well as other commercial companies with pre-fab kits.

Frostline? What is that? Never heard of it... Maybe when it gets really cold, like in the 40's..
