Do I need a permit for patio cover or carport in Campbellton?

Permit required

Yes. In Florida, patio cover or carport generally requires a permit, and Campbellton is no exception.

A solid-roof patio cover or carport needs a building permit in Florida. Section 105.2 of the Florida Building Code, Building exempts no patio covers or carports, and the work is structural, so the $7,500 permit exemption does not apply. Wind uplift drives the plan review, and many departments want signed drawings or a manufacturer's engineered detail.
