What is the process for obtaining a permit for a deck?
• Three sets of plans, a completed building permit application, and a plan review fee must be submitted to the Building Division for review. The plans must be drawn to scale (such as ¼ inch equals one foot) and include a site plan, footing plan, framing plan, stairway detail (if applicable), handrail detail, and guardrail detail. (See attached example drawings.) • If the deck to be constructed is eight feet or higher in elevation, a lateral analysis and construction design will need to be submitted for review.
