However, I did have a Carrier system in Virginia, and it had a trap on the condensate drain.
. Our original one (2009) was installed by the Villages Builders (actually by SUN-KOOL) as well and it did have the trap out in the back yard next to the condensing unit. Shows how T.V. builders lack consistency, or maybe your original just got removed or broken. In any case, the manual from our 3 month old Carrier system says that CARRIER requires one and if it is like here as in that article from VA I linked **IF** local code says one is only needed **IF** A/C manufacturer requires it then those without one are in violation of code (not that it means a hill of beans just a POI). That article was about VA and I didn't look through code here as it really wasn't of importance, just a DP.
