Depends on size, but you should be fine:

I guess it falls under on grade patio if it’s under a certain ground level height

You do need to observe setback from property line. There's a PDF link at the bottom of that page regarding the zoning requirements on that.

If you have further questions, call or email them at the addresses at the bottom of that page. They're generally pretty responsive.

Setback in Henrico is 3’ from property line. I looked this up a month ago for my future shed.

What terms did you search with to find setback requirements for sheds? Honestly am curious, I'd like to know this info.
