Carports must be constructed to Florida Building Code wind-load standards. Metal carports in planned subdivisions frequently prohibited by HOA rules. Engineered drawings required due to 170 mph wind-zone. Carports cannot be enclosed without a conversion permit that turns them into a garage subject to setback and stormwater review.
