I'm sure things have changed since then. Just give the town a call.
I actually did check with the town building inspector regarding whether I'd need a permit or not, which I would have for the carport, and also checked with the assessor regarding how it would affect his taxes, and he told me worst case scenario would be that it would raise his taxes about $40 per year, and that was on the high end.

I still would have rather built the permanent structure but he wanted to try this first and I respected his decision. I did tell him though, that if it fails (this is his 3rd one in 5 years or so) I'm putting up the mother of all car ports for him
