            (a)        Carports shall not be erected or located closer than five feet inclusive of eaves from the right-of-way line of a public or private street.

            (b)        Carports shall not be located or erected closer to the side property line than the applicable side yard setback or the dwelling to which it is accessory, whichever is less.

If a special exception is requested the following will apply:

A special exception from the Board of Adjustments is required if you plan to construct a carport in your front yard beyond the building line.  If the plan is to build a carport in the front setback, please provide a current and certified list of all recorded property owners within a 300’ radius of the entire boundary of your property.  This current and certified list must be obtained from either a bonded abstractor or the County Assessor of Oklahoma County.
