Patio covers in Arlington, WA.
Patio covers in Arlington add a roofed footprint to a property that may already have a garage, shed, deck or porch. Begin with the whole site before deciding how far the new roof should extend.

Choose initial dimensions and roof shape, then confirm the complete site footprint, supports and review requirements for the property.

Patio cover installation
Test the cover footprint against the existing site.
Arlington’s residential zoning worksheet includes covered patios among the structures counted in its coverage calculation. Gather the existing footprint information and have the reviewer confirm the calculation for your parcel and proposal.
Draw the proposed roof edge.
Distinguish the covered footprint from the paved area and show the intended attachment.
Confirm the parcel-specific limit.
Do not apply the worksheet’s example percentage as an automatic approval for every property.
Before work begins
Confirm how the selected cover design will be reviewed.
Arlington’s older exemption bulletin describes a limited detached-cover exemption and preserves other site obligations. Ask the city how the current rules apply to the proposed size and attachment.
The calculator’s dimensions describe an initial price scenario. They do not establish setbacks, coverage, footing locations or whether an existing slab can support the selected structure.
Patio Covers questions for Arlington homeowners.
Is the covered area always the same as the paving?
Show the proposed roof footprint and posts separately so the review reflects the actual structure.
Does a detached cover avoid all site review?
The city’s bulletin retains site obligations even for exempt structures. Confirm the current requirements for the property.
Can the calculator approve the layout?
Use it for an initial range and have the proposed footprint, supports and parcel constraints reviewed separately.
