Orange County carports
Shopping for Orange County carports that can handle Central Florida storms? We design, permit and install steel carports, metal garages, RV covers, boat covers and clear-span buildings from Apopka to Lake Nona. In addition, every building is engineered for the design wind speed at your address, and across Florida those speeds run from about 115 to 170 mph.
We install in every Florida county except Miami-Dade and Broward, and permitting assistance is included with every order. To get started, compare our installed price charts, check standard carport sizes or read the metal garage buyer’s guide.
Popular in Orange County
From two-car carports in Orlando neighborhoods to RV covers in Apopka and workshops on acreage near Christmas and Bithlo, these are the buildings we install most.
Above all, shade and storm protection for cars, trucks and golf carts.
Plus extra length for ski boats and pontoons on the Butler Chain and Lake Apopka.
Fully enclosed, and also fitted with wind-rated roll-up doors.
For example, equipment and hay buildings for east and northwest county acreage.
Similarly, 32′ to 60′ wide buildings for contractors, fleets and storage.
Built for Central Florida
Orange County sits inland, but hurricanes still bring strong winds across Central Florida. On top of that, the area gets frequent summer lightning and heavy afternoon rain, and many lots sit near lakes.
Our Orange County recommendation
In our experience, this setup holds up best to Florida storms and summer downpours. It is also what plan reviewers expect to see on the drawings.
Permit services
All of them enforce the Florida Building Code. However, each has its own forms and review process, so we confirm the right office for your address before we file.
| Where your property is | Who reviews the permit |
|---|---|
| Unincorporated Orange County (Pine Hills, Dr. Phillips, Hunters Creek, Union Park, Christmas, Bithlo, Zellwood and more) | Orange County Division of Building Safety, filed online through Fast Track |
| City of Orlando | City of Orlando |
| Winter Park, Winter Garden, Apopka, Ocoee and other cities | We confirm whether the city or the county reviews your address |
What the county asks for
For unincorporated Orange County, every accessory structure needs a permit, even under 120 sq. ft. As a result, we prepare everything except your survey and owner signatures.
We prepare
First, plans signed, dated and sealed by a Florida-licensed engineer or architect, to the current Florida Building Code.
We prepare
Next, a site plan or survey showing where the new structure sits on your lot.
We prepare
In addition, the Orange County Product Approval Specification Sheet for doors, panels and fasteners.
When required
Sometimes the county asks for a lot grading and drainage plan with finished floor elevation.
Small structures
By contrast, these go through a zoning permit instead of full building code review.
You provide
Finally, your property survey, HOA approval if required, and owner signatures.
Sources: Orange County Residential Accessory Structures · City of Orlando. Requirements can change; we confirm them when we file.
Service area
Delivery and installation are included anywhere in the county. In other words, there is no extra trip charge for standard orders, and we install in every Florida county except Miami-Dade and Broward.
HOA tip: deed-restricted communities in Lake Nona, Windermere, Winter Garden and Avalon Park often need HOA approval before a permit. So, send it with your survey and we will build it into the timeline.
