Carports are permitted in Boynton Beach as accessory structures with a building permit. Must match principal structure materials, meet 140 mph wind load, and observe front setback matching the home's zoning district.
Carports are allowed in all residential zones but must integrate architecturally with the main dwelling. Open-sided carports must use engineered posts and hurricane straps. Fabric or canvas temporary carports are allowed only for up to 180 days per calendar year and may not be used in lieu of required parking. Carports attached to the home count toward lot coverage; detached carports follow accessory structure setbacks of 5 feet side and 10 feet rear. HOA architectural committees often require approval before permit submission.
Fabric carport over 180 days: $100 citation plus removal. Unpermitted attached carport: stop work and double permit fee. Wind failure during storm due to improper install: restitution for damage to neighbors.
