A carport is an accessory structure in Coconino County and generally needs a building permit under the 2018 IRC, with the roof engineered for the area's ground snow load and compliance with zoning setbacks.
Coconino County Community Development permits carports as accessory structures under the 2018 IRC. Because this is snow country, plan review focuses on a roof structure that can carry the local ground snow load, which runs around 50 pounds per square foot near Flagstaff and higher at greater elevation, plus footings to the 30-inch frost depth. A detached carport must meet the zoning district's setbacks, stay out of easements, and generally sit behind the front building line. A prefabricated steel or fabric carport kit still needs a permit and often needs engineering to prove it can hold the snow load. In wildland-urban interface areas, ignition-resistant materials may be required.
An unpermitted carport, or one placed in a required setback or easement, draws a stop-work order, retroactive fees, and possible removal. A roof that cannot carry the snow load fails inspection.
