Is a building permit required for a deck?
Decks over 18 inches in height require a permit (measured from lowest point of the natural or approved grade). Any new deck constructed after June 1, 2009 and over 8 inches in height will require a permit. The deck code information is available at the building department and at the Planning Department.
