Carport / canopy placement rules
France · Auxiliary · usually lightweight
A carport/canopy is a garden annexe (no permit up to 5 m², declaration from 5 to 20 m², permit above 20 m²); place it on the boundary or at least 3 m away when the PLU sets no rule, and keep roof runoff on your own plot.
Permit and notice
≤5 m² none; 5–20 m² declaration; >20 m² permit
Placement rules
An open roofed structure (carport, canopy). Planned like an outbuilding; roof overhang and runoff must stay on your plot.
Important limitation
The catalog is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the land plot category, local land-use and development rules, easements, utility protection zones and neighbour buildings.
