If you are planning on building a deck onto a townhouse chances are good that you will need to contact a HOA. Each Association works in its own way, imposing different levels of restrictions in an attempt to maintain consistency throughout the development. For instance some Associations may only allow certain types of materials for decks or require a certain style of guardrails to match neighboring decks. If your deck meets the requirements they will usually draft a short letter granting permission to build the project.
