Carport permit needed?

I am looking at possibly doing a carport in my driveway in Matthews. Pics attached of the style. The front leading edge of the structure (left side of picture) would be approx 25-30 feet from roadway. The back edge ( front face in this view) would be 4-5 feet from property line. I contacted Matthews code enforcement to inquire and he directed me to Mecklenburg permit office. Highest point of the carport would be 8’11” high. Thanks in advance to all
