Carport / canopy placement rules

Italy · Auxiliary · usually lightweight

Article 873 sets a 3 m fallback distance between buildings, not a universal 3 m setback from the plot boundary. Regional law and the municipal planning instrument may require a greater distance or regulate boundary construction.

Use in planner All objects

Placement rules

An open roofed structure (carport, canopy). Planned like an outbuilding; roof overhang and runoff must stay on your plot.

Other conditions

Runoff, shading and other local-code conditions.

Before positioning Check the regional rules and the current municipal planning instrument; use Article 873 only as the national fallback between buildings Italy — Civil Code, Articles 873–899

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.

Sources

The editor will use the same source-backed passport for short in-canvas hints.
