Is there a limitation on how long one can be cited for not pulling a permit for a shed? I have heard everything from 3years to 7 years for all outdoor work in NJ

Whatever level of support you have to address it, and the stomach to go through it. If it looks like it has been there for over 6 months, I usually turn a blind eye.

Depending on the size and or local codes a shed maybe exempt from a permit
Past codes limited the size to 120 sq ft

If it is not exempt from permit it will never be exempt from permit...as in forever.
