What are the requirements for building a carport on my property?
Generally, a carport will require building permit approval through the Building Inspections Department, prior to construction. If the carport is attached to the main structure on the property (such as a house) it would need to comply with building setback requirements for the main structure. If the carport is detached (stand-alone), it would need to comply with the building setback requirements for accessory structures.
