Patio Covers

A permit is required for the installation of a patio cover or arbor. A homeowner can perform this work at his homestead and does not need to register as a contractor with the City, but must apply for a building permit prior to beginning any construction. If a contractor is used, that contractor must be registered with the City of College Station.

Submission for a building permit should be made to Planning & Development Services through our online permitting system eTRAKiT.

• A copy of a site plan or property survey of your property with dimensions indicating the location of the patio cover on the property.
• A plan with dimensions indicating how the structure will be constructed and anchored. This plan should include materials used and spacing of framing members.

An inspection will be required upon completion of work. Please contact Planning & Development Services at 979.764.3570 or visit eTRAKiT to schedule an inspection.
