You must obtain building permits for your deck (wood patios are exempt from permitting). Building plans are required, but may be substituted with one of the typical deck drawings shown below. A site-related plan is required to show the impact of your construction on your property. Your project must be inspected to ensure the construction is in accordance with the code and the approved plans.
Hiring a professional to build your deck may cost more than doing it on your own, but it means that you won't have to do the work yourself or put in the time. In addition, having a professional deck builder handle your project can give you peace of mind in knowing that your deck is built properly and safely.
