You'll want to call town-hall for the best answer to this. All details can vary wildly from town to town.
Many towns don't require permits for "temporary" buildings. "Temporary" means whatever the town wants it to mean. Usually no foundation or pad, Sometimes putting cinderblocks/bricks/stones between the shed and ground make it permanent. Some places have no such classificaton and even tents are structures if they are not taken down promptly (like Hudson).
I'd expect the rules to say sheds less than 'X' square feet and not over 'Y' tall, do not need a permit. Also there is frequently a set-back requirement so you want to know where the lot line is. Usually if your neighbors have a shed then you can have something of that type in your yard.
That's all think I know about that.
It sounds like you are going to build a real shed but if you are considerring a "tent" shed send me a PM and I'll be glad to give you some tips based on my experience with these structures. I don't sell them but I've used a couple and fiddled with them to meet my needs.
Good luck!
