OP, I got a different answer from Sumter County than you did. As I said, I have never heard of an exception to the setback rules for structures less than 24 inches high, so I asked that specific question. Although it may not be perfectly clear, here is the answer that I got by email:
Hello,
Here is the latest update on your ticket that Jennifer Bryla
from the Planning is handling:
No setback lines always apply.
