Some areas require building permits to install prefab buildings, including carports and RV carports. To find out about your local ordinance, please visit the website of your local city or township. There you should be able to see what is required in your community.   The majority of areas do not require building permits, but it is still to your advantage to purchase a certified storage building for long term performance of your carport or garage. It is always best to check with your local government to see if a permit or a certificate of zoning plan approval is necessary before moving forward with the project. If you do need approval, please contact us to reschedule your delivery date until after you have received your permit.
