McKinney permits attached carports on residential lots subject to setbacks and building permit. Front-yard prefabricated metal carports generally prohibited in most single-family zoning districts.
Attached carports must match principal structure setbacks (typically 25 ft front, 5 ft side). Detached carports follow accessory structure rules: 3 ft side and rear, 6 ft rear from alley. Prefabricated metal carports visible from street are restricted under zoning design standards. Carports cannot be enclosed more than 40 percent on any side without converting to garage under building code.
Unpermitted or noncompliant carports: up to 500 dollars per day plus removal order.
