The City of San Benito wants to remind all residents and property owners about the importance of adhering to Ordinance No. 2252 regarding the construction of carports. According to this ordinance, it is unlawful to build a carport on your property without obtaining a proper building permit from the city.
Constructing a carport without a permit can lead to fines, removal orders, and additional enforcement measures to ensure compliance with city codes. Permits are crucial in guaranteeing that structures meet safety standards, respect property boundaries, and align with the city's zoning regulations.
How to Obtain a Permit:
1. Visit the City of San Benito's Building Department to apply for a carport permit. Staff members are available to assist you with the process and answer any questions.
2. Submit necessary documentation including design plans and site information, which will be reviewed to confirm compliance with local building codes.
3. Await permit approval before beginning any construction.
The City of San Benito is committed to maintaining a safe and attractive community for everyone. Please help us achieve this by following Ordinance No. 2252 and securing a permit before constructing a carport or any similar structure on your property.
