Montgomery County has no countywide carport ordinance. Whether you can build a carport, and its setbacks, size, and permit requirements, are governed by your city, village, or township zoning code and the Ohio Building Code.
A carport is an accessory structure, and in Ohio accessory-structure regulation is a municipal and township matter, not a county one. Montgomery County does not zone lots or issue carport permits. Your local zoning code determines whether a carport is a permitted accessory structure, how far it must sit from lot lines, its maximum height and lot coverage, and whether it may extend into a required yard or over a driveway. Townships zone unincorporated land under ORC Chapter 519, which lets trustees regulate the location, size, and setback lines of structures; cities and villages regulate their own limits. A carport is a roofed structure, so unless it falls under a local small-structure exemption, a local zoning certificate or building permit
A carport built without a required permit or violating local setbacks or coverage limits is enforced by your city, village, or township zoning or building official, with possible stop-work orders, fines, retroactive permitting, or removal.
