Last year, I used the Fairfax County Typical Deck Details to build my deck. Can I add a small stairway this year without getting another permit?
When you received the final inspection on your deck, that permit was closed and cannot be used again. The addition of a small stairway may seem incidental, but it does require a permit and building plans, and must be reviewed by the applicable departments within the county (i.e., Zoning, Site, Building Plan Review, etc.).
