Carports in Dublin must meet accessory structure setbacks and require a zoning permit. Front-yard and temporary fabric carports are generally prohibited in residential districts.
Permanent carports attached to the principal dwelling must meet the same setbacks as the house. Detached carports follow accessory structure standards (rear yard, 3 to 5 feet side/rear setbacks, 15 feet height max). Temporary metal-frame fabric carports are treated as accessory structures and are typically not permitted in front yards or driveways. HOA covenants in many Dublin subdivisions impose additional aesthetic restrictions.
