Carport construction in Port Hueneme requires a building permit and must comply with zoning setback and lot coverage standards. Carports are subject to the same setback requirements as other accessory structures.
Carports require building permits from Community Development at (805) 986-6559. The structure must comply with zoning setbacks (typically 5 feet from side and rear property lines for accessory structures). Carport area counts toward lot coverage maximums. Carports within the Coastal Zone may need additional review. Metal carport kits and prefabricated structures must still meet California Building Code structural requirements for wind and seismic loads. Carports may not be enclosed to create a garage without additional permits.
Unpermitted carports may require removal or retroactive permitting. Carports exceeding lot coverage limits must be modified. Enclosing a carport without permits is a code violation.
