In unincorporated Snohomish County a carport is an accessory structure used to cover vehicles or boats. Detached garages and storage structures over 2,400 square feet must sit at least 15 feet from external property lines; over 4,000 square feet, at least 20 feet.
SCC 30.91C.050 defines a carport as a structure used to cover or protect motor vehicles, recreational vehicles, or boats owned or operated by the occupants of the main building. Carports and detached garages are accessory structures subject to zoning setbacks. Under SCC 30.23.110, detached accessory or non-accessory storage structures and private garages with footprints over 2,400 square feet must be at least 15 feet from any external property line, and those over 4,000 square feet at least 20 feet (parcels abutting open-space tracts get a five-foot setback). Smaller structures follow the standard zone setbacks in the bulk matrix.
A carport or garage placed within required setbacks is a code violation; the county may require relocation, removal, or a variance, with civil penalties for noncompliance.
