Is a county building permit required for fences and decks?
Yes. In addition to an approved architectural change request form, a county building permit must be displayed in your front window when building any structures on your property requiring a permit. You are not only paying for permission to build, you are paying for the expertise of the inspector who will visit your property (at least twice during construction of decks, for example) to be sure that what is being built meets county standards for construction and safety.
