A porch is a covered area at the entrance to a building, usually open at the sides and raised above grade. In the records we hold the term covers the floor, the roof and the steps that reach it.

About Porch
Porch drawings show the floor framing or slab, the columns, the roof, how the structure ties into the house wall, and the stair and guard details. Scope tends to turn on whether the porch is being rebuilt in place or extended, and on whether it is screened. Porch records often carry deck, lanai and addition headings as well.

A permit can match more than one term, so these counts are not additive and adding two of them together overstates the total.
