Do I need a permit for a patio cover?

Yes, unless it’s 10 feet from the structure and less than 120 square feet in floor area. 

However, whether or not you are exempt from a permit, you would need to comply with the setback and zoning requirements associated with the parcel upon which it is to be constructed. Please contact the Planning Division at 805-237-3970 to obtain this information.
