Catz is right, as always! [] It's kind of surprising why anyone build a carport without a permit. Assuming there is no light there it should be easy to build. If it's not permitted it doesn't exist as far as the lender is concerned. The COH however can take action against the owner. All you need is a neighbor who doesn't like you. []

Hooligal, the tax guys will tax a structure whether it has a permit or not. We have a legal unpermitted structure (built prior to 1920 with documentation prior to 1930, I think are the specifics grandfathering in) and the tax folks have been getting paid for as long as there have been tax folks in this state to pay.

Eightfingers, the cost of the inspection shouldn't be a deterrent to getting a permit because the inspections are free. Well, not exactly free, but they are covered with the cost of getting the building permit. There is a whole bunch of information on how to get building permits on the County website.
