  That is also the case in my area of the US. The wooden structure must be a certain distance from the house, fence, etc. However smaller structure don't need a permit so people just ignore the rules if space is tight. And some areas don't have strict enforcement of the building code particularly rural areas. But those properties tend to have lots of space.

    Yea, in my area I think under 100 sqft and it has basically zero rules as long as it isn’t being hooked to electric or plumbing

  Buildings that overlap are often seen as attempt to make an addition without the right permits. They have zero sense of humor about that over here either. Since the wall of this building is actually under the roof line, they’ll make him tear this down or reroof his house to move it four inches over (although that might take a permit too, since you’re changing the roofline). Tearing it down is cheaper. He may also be violating setbacks from the edge of the property, but those have been diluted here so frequently in large cities that he might be okay.

Also please cite where having a shed next to your property is illegal in any one of these jurisdictions. Under certain dimensions and heights, planning "law" doesn't apply.
